Lee Zalben is a man obsessed with peanut butter. In 1998, he opened Peanut Butter & Co., a sandwich shop in Greenwich Village that served nothing but peanut butter sandwiches and desserts. By 2003, he'd appeared in just about every national magazine, he'd opened a gourmet peanut butter manufacturing facility in Brooklyn and he was distributing his own line of gourmet peanut butter in specially food shops and better supermarkets throughout the country. The Peanut Butter & Co. Cookbook is a collection of more than 80 recipes, sprinkled throughout with informative sidebars, trivla, quotes and more. With recipes ranging from classic sandwiches like The Elvis (grilled peanut butter sandwich stuffed with bacon, bananas and honey) to decadent desserts (chocolate peanut butter ple); from breakfast fare (peanut butter waffles) to the deliciously weird (peanut butter sushi). The Peanut Butter & Co. Cookbook is sure to have the answer for every peanut butter craving. Fun facts, a timeline, and quotes from peanut butter - loving celebrities, along with photos of 20 of the finished recipes, as well as vintage ads, lunchboxes, and peanut butter tins decorate the pages to give the book a playful, whimsical feel.
