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!

ReviewsPraise 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.
