Ken Beck (Author), Jim Clark (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 1, 1997

The authors have carefully chosen more than seventy-five scenes from the show in which eating plays a big part. Each scene comes alive with eye-popping black-and-white or color photographs accompanied by corresponding dialogue and recipes for the food from the show.

Included are everything from a casual lunch with Andy and Barney at the courthouse to a sit-down dinner with the Darlings at Andy's house. Aunt Bee's Mealtime in Mayberry is a tasty way to remember one of the most popular television shows of all time. With more than 100 photographs, most of which have never been published, and 150 recipes, this full-color, hardcover gift book makes a wonderful remembrance of America's friendliest town.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Good Old Days!, April 21, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Aunt Bee's Mealtime in Mayberry (Hardcover)

I took a walk down memory lane with Aunt Bee, Andy and Barney along with many other cast members! The wonderfully basic old-fashioned recipes brought back memories of simple times. The book is packed with black/white and color photos along with lots of dialog from the show which made me laugh and caused me to remember the episodes that I thought were long forgotten. The book has a table of contents each for Episodes and Recipes which made it easy to find whatever I was looking for. I am pleased that the recipes are simple and easy. Many of the recipes are created with basic ingredients that allowed me to use what I already had on hand in the pantry without running to the store to get a special ingredient and the results were scrumptious!

I bought the book thinking it was just a little "Andy Griffith" nostalgia, but was pleasantly surprised when the recipes were actually great! As a mother of 6, my family welcomed some new ideas for dinner (I welcomed that they were simple to make)! Also get "Aunt Bea's Delightful Desserts."
