Pretty good for peanut recipes

This is a good recipe book for the basics at Christmas time - only thing is - this I s not for a beginner- doesn't list the temperature for the candy thermometer on most recipes

I wasn't sure if I would like raw peanuts, or wanted to mess with the roasting process, but with the price for those in the 16oz. jars getting over 3 bucks I had to give it a shot. Getting 15% off with Subscribe & Save also was a factor and hopefully Amazon won't drop them from the program like they did the Emerald peanuts I was previously purchasing. Anyway, the peanuts taste great and the roasting process is relatively painless. The only downside is getting the brown wrapper off but shaking then in a brown paper bag seems to be working pretty good. We found that grinding up some salt in our little coffee grinder and just sprinkling it over the nuts was sufficient to get them lightly salted and we didn't have to heat it as some have suggested. Since taste is relative I'm going with 5-stars because I like them and find it's a viable alternative to paying over 3 bucks a pound to have someone else heat them up and sprinkle some salt on... and with the savings of an additional 15% my last purchase was about two-fifty a pound. I'm stocking up because Amazon seems prone to raising the price on everything else I have subscribed to or deleting it from the program... I now have 46 items that I don't receive because of one or the other of these two reasons.

Some of these recipes are way out there but some are really good like the one with peanut butter and the one with butterscotch and also the double chocolate one is out of this world. But my favorite oneis the one with chocolate and mint. Thank you and enjoy your day.

I have made many recipes from this book and and all but one have turned out fantastic, the outlier was still fairly good.  I would recommend reading the recipe a couple of times before trying is because some of the steps might be a little strange or unorthodox.  Even when I have screwed up a step or two the recipe turns out really good.  My biggest complaint is the way the book is laid out, there are a number of smaller recipes that you don't see in the main table of contents that are really good but not easy to find unless you look in the index in the back of the book.

My husband and I lived in Japan for quite awhile so I am always looking for a good cookbook to recreate my favorite tastes.  This one is pretty good.  Some of the recipes are merely decoration and aren't so useful for day to day cooking, so I might have only given it 3 stars.  However, it has the best recipe for homemade teriyaki sauce that I have found yet, its just really lovely!  So overall, a 4 for some usefulness.  Some of the other recipes are decent, too!

I am able to follow the recipes fairly easily. I could use a few pictures of the finished product to compaire my attempts with but over all fairly nice book.

The reason I bought this cookbook was mainly because of the clear delineation and alternatives for nuts. Each recipe clearly states it is uses nuts and alternatives instead.  Paleo is a great lifestyle but when a family has nut allergies it can be challenging. The reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 is because I feel like some of the recipes are a not quite to my family's taste.

It was OK. Has a mixture of peanuts of various sizes. The big ones are about twice the size of the smallest ones.

This is a great product.  I've been using it in my Trim Healthy Mama recipes, adding it to shakes, and even using it in sauces.  I love that it is low calorie.  It is so cheap compared to many other peanut flours out there.  I like that they don't add sugar like some of the others do.
I'm enjoying this as a nice nutty addition to my recipes and will certainly buy it again once I'm out.  There's a lot, so I'm not sure when I will need more! :)

I don't follow a Paleo diet by any means, but I bought this book to incorporate some healthy high-protein snacks into my diet. It didn't disappoint--most of the recipes are tasty and easy to make. The majority contain fairly standard ingredients, although a few may warrant a trip to a specialty store. (Where can I buy yucca root? Hmm.)

Just as a note, while there is some useful info about the diet itself, people wishing to adopt this lifestyle may first want to buy a more comprehensive book. This book is mainly recipes as opposed to information and diet guidelines.

Pretty good but it works better if you mix something with high protein levels like peanut butter. Otherwise it's pretty good.

I got these to make cookies, but yesterday I decided to make a nut and roasted chick pea mix. I often make this on a baking sheet and, even though I roast the chick peas for half an hour before adding the nuts, the nuts sometimes burn while the chick peas are roasting--the metal baking sheet gets very hot. The silicone baking sheet seemed to modulate the surface temperature so it didn't burn the nuts even though the chick peas were roasted in about the same time as usual.

These were easy to clean, so it didn't matter if I put a little oil on the chick peas.

Looking forward to making the cookies this week, and some kales chips as well.

Lots of recipes and ingredients are easy to find at the grocery store.  The recipes are easy and quick to make.  Quite a few of the recipes are a little on the bland side and more spices are needed for a more palatable flavor.

This is good-quality peanut powder. It doesn't have any sugar or salt, so it may seem a bit bitter if you are used to the other brands. Just add a bit of sweetener to it if you like. The price seems high, but I guess demand for peanut powder is not that great.

I think a more appropriate name for this book would be, "Kid Favorites Made Healthier".  I was a bit disappointed at the lack of vegetable dishes... or at least ones my family would eat.  Having said that, I have actually used this book a lot.  The recipes are simple and easily adaptable, for example, I'll use whole grain pastas and tortillas instead of the regular "white" ones called for in the recipes.  There are pictures of most of the recipes which is always nice.  Potential purchasers should be aware that many of the dishes use store-bought time-savers which was a plus for me but may be a turn-off for others.  All in all, a good cookbook with good recipes... not great, but there are some real gems that make it worth the purchase.

These are very good.  The spice level is in like with a cajun mix but they are far crunchier than a normal roasted peanut because of the crunchy coating.

I really liked this cookbook a few years back when I was just learning to cook. The recipes are simple, healthy, and pretty good.

These days, though, I hardly use it - now that I'm more experienced with cooking, the recipes seem a little bit *too* simple. They're not exactly bland, but they're not very exciting, either. The only thing I still regularly make is the Chicken Paprikash recipe, which is quite good (although I have to turn my stove a lot hotter than the book says or the chicken comes out practically raw).

Still, if you're looking for simple and healthy recipes, or if your tastes aren't too adventurous, this is well worth the price.
