Save Money - Make Secret Restaurant Recipes at Home!

How to get copycat restaurant recipes!
Have you ever tried recreating American recipes you've enjoyed in restaurants? I have, and many times, I've come very, very close to mimicking the secret recipes at home. Once in a while, however, I need a little help. Sometimes there was maybe one herb or spice that I could quite identify, and the single missing ingredient made a relatively big difference in how the dish turned out. I guess they really were top secret recipes.
Just about everyone has his favorite restaurant dishes. After all, who doesn’t enjoy dining out? The most successful eateries use tried and true recipes to consistently produce tasty restaurant dishes that will keep paying customers returning for more. The problem is that sometimes you just don’t have the money to eat out. Or maybe you have the money, but you don’t have the time. Perhaps you just don’t want to get dressed for going out and having to deal with traffic on the way to your favorite restaurant dishes.
Fortunately, now you can save money and make secret restaurant recipes at home! Thanks to some great cookbooks, you can turn your own kitchen into a private restaurant and create mouth-watering restaurant recipes at a fraction of the cost. Most the recipes are super easy to follow, with step-by-step instructions. You can find many of your favorite copycat recipes from Starbucks, Outback Steakhouse, Boston Market, Chipotle Mexican Grill, Panera Bread, Olive Garden, Chili's, and many more of your favorite restaurants.
Do you find yourself craving Applebee’s recipes, like their secret recipe for Santa Fe chicken salad or their orange creamsicle cake? Get those, along with more Applebee’s recipes. Also included in the cookbooks are other restaurant secret recipes, including Cheesecake Factory's pumpkin cheesecake, Bob Evans cinnamon-raisin biscuits, The Soup Nazi's crab bisque, Red Robin's mountain high mud pie, Chili’s Asian lettuce wraps, Cracker Barrel’s hash brown casserole, Hard Rock Café’s baby rock watermelon ribs, KFC’s fried chicken, and lots more.
You'll find several cookbooks for "top secret restaurant recipes." Some are geared toward specific types of American recipes, while others are more general in nature. For example, if you're a junkfood junkie or a fast-food aficionado, you can learn to make a Bic Mac, an Orange Julius, a Chic-Fil-A sandwich, Krispy Kreme donuts, a Wendy's Frosty, Burger King's onion rings, Hostess Twinkies, Wendy's mardarin chicken salad, Taco Bell sauce, and even your favorite candy bars.
Imagine making all these great restaurant dishes at home! You’ll also learn to make things like V8 juice, Lipton’s Onion Soup mix, Lawry’s taco seasoning, Bisquick Baking Mix, Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix, Old Bay seasoning, and more. All kinds of recipes are included – appetizers, salads, sandwiches, desserts, mixed drinks, and dinner recipes. Use the books to create special meals for company, decadent desserts, and tempting treats. You’ll find the dinner recipes a wonderful change from your tired old dishes, and your family will thank you!

WOW! Interesting!
I bet this hub nets you a bunch of cash, habee!
;-)
Great information! Thank you for sharing.
Super hub with a wealth of information. Thank you for the joy of reading it
Amazing! great hub
Holy cow - 730 hubs! Boy oh boy, you are one hard worker. And I want some of those recipes. But I wonder if I'd be shocked at the amount of salt and sugar - oh well.....
HI Habee - It's tough for me to find something to cook well for my hubby - he owned and operated a restaurant in Thailand for 2 years so he is an amazing chef! I hope this works! I was looking for something when I came across your hub - Timing is EVERYTHING! BTW - Which of the recipes have you tried and do you have any favorites? Thanks!
Thanks for the cookbook titles. It is quite a joke for my kids when we are eating out and I say, "I could make this at home." Now I can!
Great and perfect!
Saving money is always a great idea.
Will definately be looking into Applebee's recipies they all sound fantastic. Like the idea of a different diabetic cook book too.
Hello.
I am a student and making a short project dedicated to wine glasses choice.
Will be very pleased if you tell me:
1) Why do you prefer one type of wine glasses to the detriment of others? Do you try do find smth specific in this product?
2)What associations do you have with wine glasses, except "wine drinking" of course? Is it about fun, indulgence or smth else?
Thank you very much in advance and sorry for disturbing.
Larry.
Thanks so much, Sam!
Lizzy, I hope you're right!
Okmom, you are certainly welcome!
HH, you always say the nicest things!
am, thanks a bunch for reading!
Dolores, you could always leave out the salt and sugar!
Mwatkins, I really like the Applebee's recipes!
Sally, prove the kids wrong! lol
Chicbrand, I really appreciate that!
Crafty, I totally agree!
Bluestar, thanks so much for stopping by!
Larry, I'm not a wine glass expert, but different glasses are designed for different types of wine. I'm really not a big wine drinker. Sorry.
Excellent hub Habee! My scale may not be happy with this hub but I certainly am.
Awesome. I'm glad there are cookbooks out there for restaurant recipes. I always find myself thinking that I could make most of those at home for a lot less money. 10 bucks just seems a bit outrageous to me for a salad :).
Thanks for this hub!
Good information, thanks
Funny, KEv. Just use the low carb recipes! lol
Same here, Loves2cook. Thanks for reading!
Susie, you're very welcome!
Haha, very entertaining, and probably a very useful book to have! Fortunately, my mother has seemed to be able to pick up on how restaurants make certain foods first by seeing them, then smelling and trying the foods! It's saved us a lot of time and money for sure. Great hub though, and I will most likely be looking for that book in the near future :P
Yum...thank you for the information, Habee. I'm going to check on that cookbook for sure. :)
Yum...thank you for the information, Habee. I'm going to check on that cookbook for sure. :)
Thanks for this info! I would love some of Olive Garden's recipes, but for years I've wanted the Popeyes chicken recipe. Yum, Yum good!
Bon Appetit!
Travis, I'm actually pretty good at that, too, but occasionally there are restaurant food recipes I can't figure out. lol
Cool, Vickie! I think you'll like it!
Mmmm...Popeye's chicken! Yum!
Habee, Nice hub! Tasty restaurant recipe tips! Thank you for sharing, Peace & Blessings!
