and there's even Jethro's pasta sauce. I haven't seen the book, I just saw it in Country Weekly. And there's a picture of her and Maz giving each other a hug.

I like the TV related cookbooks, they are fun. I'll have to pick this one up.

I got the I Love Lucy Show cookbook
Family Affair Cookbook
Dawn Well's GI cookbook
Andy Griffith Show cookbook

maybe one or two more too

Didn't Granny have a cookbook out at one time too?

I think Bronson Pinchot (Balki Bartokomous from Perfect Strangers) should put out a recipe book of Myposian delicacies!!

I've had my Granny Cookbook for years. Bought it at a garage sale in the 1980s

I wouldn't mind having a copy either and find it surprising how the book seems fairly rare these days when Irene was really a tv superstar at the time and you can find most celebrity books from the 1960s generally quite inexpensive and easily even at this late date. I guess perhaps because it was a cookbook it was handled more and discarded as it fell apart or aged where most of the other star books were biographies and the like and probably only handled a few times by their original owners.

I do have one published treasure from the period though, well actually it's a children's joke book but signed by BOTH Irene and Donna Douglas - I believe the original owner was a kid who met them on a plane during one of their personal appearance tours. I got this priceless little gem quite cheap on ebay more than 15 years ago - less than 10 bucks!! Try getting Irene's signature on even a piece of paper these days for less than 50!!
