The Maryann Gilligan's island cookbook surprised me for sure. It contains so many interesting recipes and also Maryann's stories of how it was to be part of that great classic show. It also contains pictures and the entire Gilligan's Island episode synopsis. I met Dawn Wells about 8 years ago and she was a beautiful person.

I love the photographs of the Gilligan and all the cast! Almost every page has a photo. 33 Menus included for picnics, luaus, huuricane parties, Mrs. Howell's club luncheons to Gilligan's Every Day Diet! 217 pages of hundres of recipes--too many to count. There's even a whole section dedicated to coconut cream pies! The recipes are very simple and easy, and I like that they don't call for ridiculous exotic or expensive ingredients. I can't wait to try Gilligan's favorite POO-POO-PEE-DOO Dip! Heres an example of how easy these recipes are: Poo-Poo-Pee-Doo Dip 1 8oz can pineapple tidbits 2 8oz pks of cream cheese, softened 1 8oz can water chestnuts, drained & chopped 3 Tbsp. chopped fresh chives 1 tsp. seasoned salt 1/4 tsp. pepper 1 cup chopped pecans Fresh parsley Assorted crackers Drain the pineapple, reserving 1 Tbsp. of juice. In a small bowl combine the pineapple, cream cheese, water chestnuts, chives, salt, pepper, and pecans. Stir in the reserved juice, mixing well. Garnish with parsley. Cover and chill. Serve with crackers. Makes about 3 1/2 cups of dip. From Dreama and Bob Denver. The book ends with a point by point "Gilligan's Island" Final Episode Guide, History and Information on the Original "Gilligan's Island" Fan Club, the Dawn Wells Fan Club, and the Dawn Wells Biography.Read full review
Mary Ann went all the way out in this cook book. If you get a chance to buy one I would say yes do it. It is a excellent cook book to use any day at home or at camp.
