Secret Recipes Revealed - Restaurant Copycat Recipes

Restaurant Copycat Recipes

If you're anything like me, you have always wondered how it is that restaurants are able to keep their dishes tasting so good, while the dishes that I cook at home, while seemingly using the same ingredients taste so average. I always wondered how to obtain these Secret Restaurant Copycat Recipes. I'm sure everyone wonders this at one point or another. With all the money I was spending to eat out at restaurants, I was searching for a way to cut costs without cutting quality meals for my family.

Normally I'm pretty skeptical about ordering anything online, but I made an exception this time around. The first three purchases I made turned out to be a waste of my time and money. I cooked at least a dozen meals using the recipes I found in these first three guides, and found that these meals pretty much tasted about as good as any other home cooked meal I usually prepare for my family.

About ready to throw in the towel, I was recommended one more product by a family friend. He claimed that he had used the guide with great success, this guide was; America's Secret Recipes. Reluctantly, I placed one more order. After I had received America's Secret Recipes, I immediately noticed a difference in the quality of the recipes. In fact, some of the recipes I had previously prepared with the other guides that I had purchased were included and contained as many as three more crucial steps in each recipe.

I have now been cooking with America's Secret Recipes for over 5 months, and I have to say that I have been genuinely surprised. Most of the secret restaurant recipes that are included in the book actually taste just like they do in the restaurant. My favorite is the Red Robin halibut and chips meal that comes with the guide. The best part is that these restaurant recipes are actually very cheap to prepare. I didn't understand it at first, but I have come to realize that these restaurants are a business, and want to save money and cut costs just like I do.

Overall I have been very pleased with my purchase of this guide, and I can only hope that more people will read my review so they can avoid the same mistakes I made while I was searching for the right guide. Using this guide has shown me that it is possible to prepare tastey home cooked meals, with restaurant recipes without spending a fortune to do so.

Value For The Money: 10/10

The guide comes with so many extra, small guides that it is completely worth the price. I have almost completely changed the meals the I used to cook, and have learned to cook dozens more restaurant recipes from this guide. Not to Mention that it helps you save time and money throughout each month because you are not eating out as much.

Ease: 9/10

Some of the recipes can be a little complicated, mostly since I wasn't used to using the techniques they used to prepare the dishes. Most meals can be prepared, cooked, and served in under an hour.

The Healthy Oat Meal Cookie To Die For - Restaurant Copycat Recipes

Restaurant Copycat Recipes

My favorite cookie is based on old-fashioned oatmeal cookies. I love this recipe. We work out a lot and it's like a really good energy bar without the preservatives. Even if you eat a lot of these cookies they are healthier and more nutritious than other cookies that have a lot of bad fats, refined flour and sugar and no fiber.
It takes only a mixer and a few minutes to make the cookie dough. I freeze the dough rolled in tubes of waxed paper and bake fresh as needed.

A Better Oatmeal Cookie

½ cup Flax seed oil (keep refrigerated)
¾ cup chopped fresh apple or applesauce
½ cup dark brown sugar
½ cup honey
2 eggs
1 cup chopped mixed dried fruit
1/2 cup flax seed
1 cup slivered almonds (pecans, walnuts or peanuts can work, too, but almonds have fewer calories)
2 Teaspoons vanilla
1 & ½ cups of whole-wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon cloves
½ teaspoon ginger
½ teaspoon salt (optional)
1 cup raisons
3 cups regular long cooking oats (not quick cooking!)

1. Beat together oil, apples, honey and sugar.
2. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well.
3. Add combined flour, baking soda, salt and spices and seeds; mix well.
4. Add oats, nuts and fruit; mix well.

Freeze the dough wrapped in 2 X 8 inch rolls of waxed paper. Place rolls in plastic freezer bags. To bake heat oven to 350 degrees F. Slice thin slices of frozen dough and place on un-greased cookie sheet. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 1 minute on cookie sheet and then remove to serving plate. Don't eat more than 5 or six at a time. Freezing the cookie dough helps you control yourself. And who has time to stand around cooking several dozen cookies at a time anyway? Here's to your health and your pleasure.
