The author of "America's Most Wanted Recipes," Ron Douglas, says that the average American family eats out three times a week. Depending on how many people are in a family, what they order, and where they go, this kind of casual dining can quickly turn into a very expensive treat.
Some families are looking for ways to make their favourite dishes from famous restaurants at home to save money on eating out. The problem is that these top-secret restaurant recipes have never been easy to find, and it may have taken years of trial and error to get them just right. A new website for recipes is trying to convince people that their favourite restaurant recipes don't have to be kept secret anymore. In fact, secret restaurant recipes may no longer be so secret.
Ron Douglas says he has put together a new book called "America's Most Wanted Recipes" with secret restaurant recipes. He gives the secret recipes for some Applebee's main courses and desserts, popular Burger King menu items, spicy dishes from Chili's, and even the cool taste of a Dairy Queen blizzard. In Douglas's new book, you can also find top-secret restaurant recipes from the Hard Rock Cafe, IHOP, Kentucky Fried Chicken, The Olive Garden, Planet Hollywood, Outback Steakhouse, Shoney's, Taco Bell, and Wendy's. The website also has a list of some of the famous restaurant recipes that are in the version of "America's Most Wanted Recipes" that can be downloaded and/or printed.
Depending on the dish, it can be hard to figure out exactly what ingredients are needed to make it taste the same. Part of the reason why dining out is so popular is that it's easy, but another important reason is that certain restaurants and meals have a taste that can't be mistaken. The goal of "America's Most Wanted Recipes" is to help chefs and readers make these dishes in a reasonable amount of time and save money. The book can be bought in print or as a download.
According to the website, customers who buy a copy of "America's Most Wanted Recipes" will also get four free bonus gifts. These include lifetime access to a secret restaurant recipes archive, The Complete Library of Cooking 5-volume set with 900 pages, a free copy of "America's Most Wanted Low-Carb Recipes," and "America's Top 150 Drink Recipes." This website has recipes, as well as a free recipe of the day, a recipe archive, and a forum where people can talk about food.
