Publisher's Synopsis
Each person living in the USA eats around three pounds of peanut butter each year, enough, in fact, to coat the floor of the Grand Canyon!
This delicious spread has come a long way since the very first PB&J sandwich appeared in Julia Davis Chandler's recipe in the Boston Cooking School Magazine. In fact, by the time they graduate from high school, the average child, in the States alone, will enjoy over 1500 peanut butter sandwiches. Good news, because in general term nuts make excellent brain food. And although peanut butter contains just less than 100 calories per tablespoon, it does give you a lot back. It' a good source of vitamin E, B6, calcium, potassium and iron, and is protein-rich which means it's the perfect addition to break smoothies and shakes. Peanut butter is a lot more versatile than you think too. It tastes great in curries, stews, and even salads. What's more, it's the perfect glaze for fish, chicken and all kinds of meats. So, whether you're looking for a quick and sweet snack or a show-stopping after dinner dessert, this is the cookbook for you. Sweet or savory, drinks or desserts, creamy or crunchy, it's time to celebrate National Peanut Butter Day on January 24.
