I live for peanut butter hence the title, The World according to Peanut Butter. I've been a life long fan of the stuff and know I'm not the only one.


I ate peanut butter throughout my pregnancy, to the horror of all the allergy phobes, and fed it to my daughter (with some trepidation I admit) when she was little more than 6 months old. I figured if she had literally been made with the stuff, chance of her having a peanut butter allergy were slim. She's 3 now and alive and well and of course she loves peanut butter.


My obsession hobby is baking and I scour recipe books for peanut butter recipes and try everyone - favourite so far was peanut butter and jam cheesecake. I'm a bread maker and have managed to incorporate huge blobs of the stuff into bread. I've found the easiest, quickest cookie recipe which is just 1 cup of peanut butter, 1 cup of sugar and an egg - and they work!


So this is a call to all peanut butter lovers, and phobes, to join in and contribute your peanut butter tales and recipes.


Oh, and crunchy is my peanut butter of choice.
