Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Olive Garden Toscana soup

    • sarahawker on September 10, 2015

      Great recipe. I've never tried at the restaurant but whole family enjoys this. I have used various greens from Kale to Sweet Potato, all good.

  • Ruth's Chris Steak House creamed spinach

    • jay.moe on November 23, 2022

      This is quick and easy to make. It's a typical creamed spinach recipe, nothing fancy, but tastes good. Substituted half-and-half for the heavy cream. Could even substitute whole milk to cut a few more calories.

  • T.G.I. Friday's potato skins

    • Kitiara121 on June 12, 2022

      Mixed a mild cheddar cheese with a garlic cheddar cheese. The result was fabulous

      The author tweaked the method from a previous version and the result is excellent. It's now our go-to method for potato skins. We'll be trying different types of toppings next time.

      This came out really tasty and crispy! I had mine without bacon and my husband loved his with bacon. I didn’t cut out the middle part and used 6 potatoes since mine weren’t that big. Will definitely do again.

      Love this recipe. Taste like TGIF's. I buy the frozen ones from the grocery store for convenience but when I'm having a party I make these because they are much more economical to make when you need to feed a crowd. Just made a bunch for my Superbowl party last night and they did not disappoint
