    Most recipes aren't even close. I wouldn't buy this again, and may toss it into the next garage sale

Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Applebee's baby back ribs

    • ellencooks on August 07, 2015

      This barbecue sauce is excellent! But I don't cook my ribs this way. I cook my ribs over indirect heat at about 300 or lower for a few hours. Then the last ten minutes I put them over the heat and brush on some sauce. Serve the rest of the sauce at the table.

  • Applebee's fiesta lime chicken

    • Rinshin on February 13, 2021

      Never had this before so not sure how close this recipe is, but my husband sure enjoyed this one. Sliced one chicken breast horizontally for the two of us for thinner pieces. Used fresh ginger and parsley instead of ground/dried, combo Cheddar and Jack for Colby cheese, and skipped on blackening seasoning and dill. Once prep work was done, the actual cooking took less than 10 min. Browned in skillet first, followed by brief broil with sauce and cheese topping. Served with Mexican style rice, haricot vert, and pico de gallo. I like to try using fish next time skipping the initial skillet browning. Photo added.

  • Olive Garden chicken crostina

      The chicken was really good. The pasta was bland.

Ron Douglas reveals the secret recipes from America’s restaurants— The Cheesecake Factory™, The Olive Garden™, P.F. Chang’s™, Red Lobster™, and many more—and shows readers how to make them at home for a fraction of the price.

The average American family eats out three or more times per week, which translates into hundreds of dollars spent on food each month. In these hard economic times, families simply can’t afford to keep paying these high prices. And Ron Douglas has spent the past five years of his life ensuring that we won’t have to. With the help of a test kitchen and more than 45,000 tasters, he uncovered the carefully guarded recipes of the most popular meals at restaurants across the country. With his easy-to-follow steps, families can now enjoy the meals they love most at a price they can actually afford.

KFC’s Famous Fried Chicken, Chili’s Southwest Chicken Chili, Olive Garden’s Breadsticks, and Cheesecake Factory’s Oreo Cheesecake are just a few of the many famous and delicious recipes included. And because each recipe has been tested by Ron’s incredible network of tens of thousands of testers, they are indistinguishable from the originals.

These best-kept secrets can save you thousands of dollars a year and will put delicious meals on the table that the whole family will enjoy.
