TV Show Cookbooks Part I

Aunt Bee's Mayberry Cookbook, published in 1991. Heavy on Southern cooking with quotes, photos and information on the show's characters. Not a vintage book, but interesting none the less.

Alice's Brady Bunch Cookbook, published in 1994. Lots of backstage stories and photos. And yes, there is a recipe for Bogie's Pork Chops and Applesauce. Also not vintage.

The Nancy Drew Cookbook - Clues to Good Cooking, published in 1973. The book size and format mimic the Nancy Drew series.



Someone's in the Kitchen with Dinah- Dinah Shore's Personal Cookbook, published in 1972.  The book also contains many of her TV programs most requested recipes, including Frank Sinatra's recipe for Fresh Tomato Spaghetti Sauce.

The Mike Douglas Cookbook - Recipes Made Famous on the Mike Douglas Television Show, published in 1969. I used to watch Mike Douglas after school while growing up and still make a Shepherd's Pie dish from a recipe that Marie Osmond demonstrated on the show.
