Would you like recipes for Seafood Paella from Bahama Breeze? Or Rigatoni Campagnolo from Carrabba’s Italian Grill? Perhaps you’d prefer to make Bang-Bang Chicken and Shrimp from The Cheesecake Factory? Cheddar Mashed Potatoes from Dave and Buster’s? Maybe you’d prefer Route 66 Truck Stop Chili from Famous Dave’s?

What will you make?

=========

Copycat recipes allow readers to enjoy the meals they’ve loved in restaurants without the high cost of a restaurant meal for your family.

Here, with a promise from the author that no recipe will cost more than ten dollars to recreate in your own kitchen, eating extremely well on a budget becomes far easier than readers might imagine.

Each recipe includes a brief comment, an ingredient list, and easy-to-follow steps. Several also include suggestions for substitutions and/or additions to the recipe.

Also included: measurements, trademarks, and a website list for every restaurant with a recipe included in the book.

Most of the recipes are for a main dish at common restaurants in America. Interesting book but won't use it to any extent. ( )
