I received this cookbook as a shower gift ten years ago from my 90-something year old great, great aunt. At the time, I thought it looked a bit hokey…it just goes to show that we young cooks have so much to learn from those that have gone before us! It has all of my family’s favorites — it is usually the place that I can find the recipe for all of those good things I remember from my childhood. I have over 60 cookbooks, and it is one of my most-used! This one is a “must-have”.

These are simple down home recipes that you grew up eating. I love it

I think the black and white episodes of the Andy Griffith Show are probably the best examples of American TV ever made, so I was thrilled to order this book. There are no photos at all which makes it tedious to flip through. Also, every recipe insists on having a character’s name in the title. It’s cute for the first few pages but gets tiresome very quickly. I can’t imagine Ernest T. Bass cooking anything and if he did I don’t believe I would want to try it. However, there are many, many pieces of dialogue reproduced exactly as they were said on the show and it is delightful to read them! How funny simple American dialect can be… This book is a fun momento of the classic Americana sitcom, but don’t expect to cook much from it.

The best southern cook book I have found. I purchased it at the airport. What a great find.

Being from a small town and now living away from it this book is like having my little aunties giving me their secert recipes… God rest their soul! I wish I had been old enough to ask them for them personally, but I found a lot of them in these two books. This is one of the two Mayberry cookbooks I own.
