Aunt Bee’s Mayberry Cookbook

The world is insane right now which has led a friend to say how she would love to live in Mayberry…of the Andy Griffith Show. It seems a simpler time when the worries were Ernest T. Bass throwing rocks through windows or Barney Fife making situations worse with his unique way of thinking about how to perform his deputy duties. Sigh!

Imagine my surprise at finding a copy of Aunt Bee’s Mayberry Cookbook @getyourpickson66. It was a lark, but I knew I had to buy it to add to my growing collection.

The book is perfect for any fan of the show, highlighting recipes from the cast and crew along with show scripts and antidotes. The creative recipes even reflect the community of Mayberry such as Opie’s Lemonade, Goober’s Beanie Salad, and Andy’s Red-Hot Applesauce. Just beware of Aunt Bee’s Kerosene Cucumbers as Barney, Andy, and Opie would tell you they are deadly!
