Top Secret Recipes: Creating Kitchen Clones of America's Favorite Brand-Name Foods: A Cookbook - Tapa blanda

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. Fridays 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
