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

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

Ok, to be honest...are all of the recipes in this book winners? No. But have I found any other cookbook where I could answer that questions affirmatively? No. Have you?

Anyway, this was a hand me down book that I inherited and I enjoyed reading the recipes and the made up history behind where they were served (did it come from Aunt Bee's kitchen or the diner or was it something that bachelor Barney made for a date?).

Nobody was more surprised than me when I made Flora's Meatloaf Mallerby. Oooh buddy! Anybody who has had my meatloaf since then swears up and down that it's THE best EVER!

But....don't try to make the orange chicken....that didn't work quite as well! :)

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.

This should be required reading for all boys and girls in the 8th grade ! Home recipes that everyone should know how to fix for everyday survival.

Of course I grew up during the Golden Age of Television, and can remember "Mayberry RFD" This Cookbook contains many recipes from all the characters involved with this show. Again, you have good down home cooking, and somewhat funny stories related to the show, from the characters themselves. I enjoyed reading these stories, but as of yet, haven't had the chance to make some of these great recipes. No doubt I will, with Winter soon approaching. Best time to cook, and bake. There are some really terrific ideas for well, rounded meals. Thanks Aunt Bea!!

This is my second book in the series of Aunt Bee cookbooks. I so much enjoy the simplicity of these cookbooks.

I have this one in print form and do not need it for my Kindle but I just want anyone thinking of purchasing this book to GET IT! I saw some "bad" reviews but I.M.H.O. the recipes are very user/cook/family friendly and it's just a fun cookbook.

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.
