Cookbook

By SOPHFRONIA SCOTT GREGORY

Is it charity or business? The U.S. peanut industry is sending 60,000 lbs. of peanut butter (of all things) to Russia. Since few residents have probably ever tasted it, here are some ideas for Russian use:

Blintzes to Nuts

Delicate pastries stuffed with peanut butter and served with a grape jam sauce.

PB&C

The original sandwich favorite spread with a layer of caviar instead of jelly

Jiffy Borscht

A delightful cold peanut soup for the summer served with a Reese's cup on the side

Peanut Pojarski

Peanut butter-stuffed salmon breaded with chopped nuts

Skippy Kiev

Chicken basted in peanut butter and roasted to a crackle
