Book Description

Publication Date: September 6, 2005

Peanut butter makes everything better. Think about it: Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies. Cold Peanut Noodles. Peanut Butter Fudge. Still not convinced? Try Peanut Butter Waffles, Pad Thai, or Chocolate Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Centers. In The Ultimate Peanut Butter Book, the tenth addition to their Ultimate series, Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough offer up hundreds of recipes and variations for America's favorite spread. From comforting Peanut Butter Sticky Buns to decadent Peanut Butter Cheesecake to outrageous Elvis Spread (peanut butter, bacon, and bananas), The Ultimate Peanut Butter Book takes Peanut butter way beyond the same old PB&J.

5.0 out of 5 stars ALL PEANUT BUTTER, ALL THE TIME!, November 6, 2005

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!

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 bought this book because of the great reviews here but was so disappointed that there was not a single picture of any of these recipes inside this book. Only the sandwich on the cover. Well, I am a visual person and need to see what I am making. I am sorry I got it but will still try a few and hope they were worth this book.
