I am salivating. Terrific cookbook for all things peanut butter. Divided into soups, starters, salads, side dishes, main dishes, sandwiches, breakfast and beyond, desserts, and more sweet treats. Good introduction, really interesting peanuts & peanut butter facts interspersed throughout book, and there’s even a conversion chart in the back for U.S., Imperial, Metric. International cuisine recipes. Luscious looking desserts.
I’ve never liked peanut butter sandwiches so until adulthood always thought that I didn’t like peanut butter. But I actually love spicy Thai peanut sauces and African peanut soups and all chocolate peanut butter desserts, and almost all of the recipes in this book look delicious and easy to make.
Oh, and the last recipe in the book is a dog treat which is a very cool addition. All the dogs I've known have been especially fond of peanut butter.

I love peanut butter, and I love Robin Roberson, so I should love this cookbook. Unfortunately, the two recipes I made from the book were duds. It feels like she was trying to compile a theme book and didn't quite have enough substance to make a book as fail-safe as the other two of hers I have.

I made several of the recipes -- the peanut butter hummus and the waffles were especially tasty.
