Hello Emma,
The closest recipe that I can find to that description is below.
Phaed
Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies
1/2 cups butter
1 cup white sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 egg
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 3/4 cups flour
Your favorite brand of peanut butter (about a cup)
In a mixer, add butter, white sugar--beat. Add egg and vanilla--beat. Add salt and
baking soda--beat. Slowly add the flour--beat (if it gets too stiff for your mixer,
continue by hand using a wooden spoon). Divide the dough into two portions. Flour
your counter; add one portion of the dough to the flour, flour the top of the dough and
using your hands roll it back and forth until you have a log. Wrap the log in Saran
Wrap, place it in a container. Repeat with the second portion of dough and place it in
the same container. Refrigerate the dough overnight. Unwrap the rolls from the Saran
Wrap and using a knife, slice the rolls into 1/4" thick cookies. Place cookies on
greased cookie sheets 2" apart. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Remove
cookies from cookie sheets and let them cool completely. Spread one cookie with
peanut butter and top with a second cookie, and then lightly press together. Keep
leftover cookies refrigerated.

Well, the problem with a request like yours is that I've never made a fish stew, and
have only eaten fish stew a couple of times. I wouldn't know a good one from a bad one.
Below are three recipes, but I can't say if they're good or bad. I'll post your request
on the site so that readers can make suggestions.

HI Phaedrus,
I am looking for the recipe of Torte De San Ginese. It was printed many years
ago in the Chicago Tribune, it said that it was an original recipe from the
founder of the Como Inn. Some of the most important ingredients are: Amaretti
cookies, day-old bread, bourbon, raisins, pine nuts, chocolate . I have the
ingredients but not the amounts. It is a cake in a crust.This recipe makes
two cakes. My mother used to make it, but she died last Christmas, I would l
love to be able to make this cake for my family, and keep up with our tradition.
My name is Bruna
I hope you will be able to help me in this search, I searched the webb with no luck.
Hi Bruna,

Subject: Onion Candy
My 69 year old husband swears his late Lithuanian-German grandmother used to make
onion candy when he was a small boy. He said it was hard like peanut brittle. His
younger sister has no recollection of it. I'd like to make it for him if I could get
the recipe.

Subject: Recipe Request Almond Bars
Hello:
I am trying to locate a recipe for bar cookies that was in the "Recipe Exchange"
section of the Hartford Courant (Connecticut newspaper) in the early 1990s.
It had a cookie crust, almonds, and used both light and dark Karo syrup, to make
a kind of a toffee to hold the almonds.
Chocolate is not one of the ingredients.
I have contacted Karo, and they do not have a similar recipe on their site or in archives.
I have tried the Hartford Courant archives, to no avail.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thank you!
William
Hello William,
