The Ultimate Peanut Butter Book: Savory and Sweet, Breakfast to Dessert, Hundereds of Ways to Use America's Favorite Spread

At first, I thought why buy another peanut butter cookbook? But I'm glad I did. This is the best of the three I have. I made the peanut butter banana bread yesterday with the addition of dark, organic chocolate bits I cut up from some chocolate bars. It was excellent. I have a habit of changing recipes. It's constitutionally impossible for me to follow anyone else's recipe to the letter. When I made the PB bread I used whole spelt flour, as that's my normal baking flour. It still worked just perfectly. The Pad Thai recipe looks appealing, as well as dozens more that enticed me. I also like their end notes with creative suggestions for tweaking each recipe.

I was a little afraid of this book when I saw these guys on The View. I was afraid of what it'd do to my diet! And it has. Sigh. But it's a great find. Because my kids will actually eat the chinese noodles with pork in this really smooth peanut sauce. I remember Barbara Walters really liked the Vietnamese wrap things. I can't wait to try them out. But not on the kids. I also made the peanut butter stuffed french toast one morning. Yum. Oh, well, I can diet tomorrow, right? I'm so glad there's a book out there about everything you can do with peanut butter. I can't wait to try one of their ice cream cocktails!
