About this product

Product Information

#1 bestselling Top Secret Recipes series with more than 4 million books sold! Every year, Americans spend billions of dollars gobbling up meals at full-service restaurant chains, inspiring Todd Wilbur to change his focus from cracking the recipes for convenience store foods to cloning the popular dishes served at these sit-down stand-bys. Wilbur's knock-offs, absolutely indiscernible from the originals, are selected from national and regional chains, many drawn from a list of the top ten full-service restaurant chains, including Houlihan's, Red Lobster, and Pizza Hut. Also included in this savory cookbook is a special section devoted to dishes from hot theme restaurants such as Hard Rock Cafe, Planet Hollywood, and Dive! Recipes include: Applebee's Quesadillas; Denny's Moons Over My Hammy; Bennigan's Cookie Mountain Sundae; The Olive Garden Toscana Soup; The Cheesecake Factory Bruschetta; T.G.I.Friday's Nine-Layer Dip; Pizza Hut Original Stuffed Crust Pizza; Chi-Chi's Nachos Grande, and many more!

Praise for Todd Wilbur's #1 bestselling Top Secret Recipes series "[Wilbur's] problem isn't that the recipes he's devised aren't good enough, it's that they're too good."-- Entertainment Weekly "There is something magically compelling about the idea of making such foods at home...The allure is undeniable, and [the books are] stuffed with tidbits and lore you're unlikely to find anywhere else. These probably come as close as you can get to the original recipes."-- Boston Herald "This is the cookbook to satisfy all your cravings."-- Juli Huss, author of The Faux Gourmet "The recipes are easy to follow and... by preparing your own versions of restaurant meals you will almost always save money."-- Arizona Daily Star "[Wilbur's] recipes use everyday supermarket ingredients to bring brand-name foods to the home kitchen. Perhaps not surprisingly, his recipes are not complex. If anything, they reflect how easy home cooking can be."-- Star Tribune (Minneapolis--St. Paul) "The assignment: Find out how to make the tasty Jack Daniels Grill Sauce used by T.G.I. Friday's restaurants. The client: Oprah Winfrey. The gumshoe: Todd Wilbur. Mission Impossible for even the most savvy food expert. But not so for Todd Wilbur, a crackerjack culinary sleuth."-- Pocono Record "Many of [Wilbur's] dishy imitations come, like a box of Cracker Jacks, with a surprise inside."-- Mademoiselle, Praise for Todd Wilbur's #1 bestselling Top Secret Recipes series "[Wilbur's] problem isn't that the recipes he's devised aren't good enough, it's that they're too good."-- Entertainment Weekly "There is something magically compelling about the idea of making such foods at home...The allure is undeniable, and [the books are] stuffed with tidbits and lore you're unlikely to find anywhere else.

I was expecting this book to have more main course recipes, but it has a lot of filler( salad dressings, drinks, sauces). I still enjoy the series.

Interesting Book
This is an older book, so some of the restaurants are no longer in business, but the recipes sounded delicious nonetheless. It has for each recipe a detailed item list, a step by step preparation list, and to top it off detailed diagrams how the place puts the item together such as a sandwich's order. The recipes are not difficult to make either. Fairly simple and not expensive ingredients. It is a very good item for a family that likes to eat out, but in tough times has to cut back. So you can still enjoy the same great tastes from home. I will definitely be looking into buying the next volume.This is an older book, so some of the restaurants are no longer in business, but the recipes sounded delicious nonetheless.

AWSOME BOOKS!!
The book is not only fun to read, and has some awsome clones but really comes through with a great knock off on the recipes I have tried. I made Weinersnitzels chili clone today and it wasn't perfect but I did use a different chili powder. It was darn close!! and one of the closest I have tasted trying to find a store brand. I have also tried a few others and though not perfect are soooo close you can't complain and it also gives you an idea to possibly perfect the exact taste. I tried the Olive Garden Penne Rustica a week ago and it was soooooo close and sooooooo good!! Never need to go there again for that craving. The books are enlightning and if not exact, will give you great flavors and an EGO boost as well as teaching you sublimanally how many things go together as far as ...

Top Secret Restaurant Recipes by Todd Wilbur
I love this book. Todd Wilbur has duplicated many of my favorite recipes from some of my favorite restaurants. I have tried three of the recipes so far and am very pleased with how close they are to the original. I've already picked out several more recipes that I want to try in the next week or so. This is also a great gift idea. I'm getting one for a friend who likes to eat at the same places I like. She'll love it as much as I do! I've already ordered two more of Todd Wilbur's book so I'm really sold on his books.I love this book. Todd Wilbur has duplicated many of my favorite recipes from some of my favorite restaurants.

Full of Great Restaurant recipes.
Todd Wilbur has the BEST on-line site for knock-off restaurant recipes, so an entire cookbook is an excellent read.
