Everyone, it seems, has a favorite dish at their local restaurant chain, and most would really like to recreate it at home. Most Requested Copycat Dishes: 100+ Homemade Versions of Your Favorite Restaurant Recipes is an excellent cookbook full of popular dishes from restaurant chains everywhere. This cookbook includes 100 recipes for snacks, appetizers, sauces, main dishes, salads, and desserts, and there is something in this cookbook that will appeal to almost everyone.

The recipes are presented in the traditional manner with the ingredients listed first, followed by step-by-step instructions that are easy to follow for both advanced and beginning cooks. At the beginning of each recipe the book tells which chain the recipes come from. There is a good variety and there are dozens of chains. I found there were several good dishes, even though I am not a fan of chains and only visit them when I must. Making the dishes at home makes me feel better because I know my ingredients are fresh and don’t have preservatives and junk that you get when actually eating at the chains.

One of the best parts of this cookbook is that most of the recipes include a beautiful, professional photograph of what the finished dish should look like.

I actually love this cookbook because the recipes turn out perfectly, but when preparing them at home, I can change them to fit my personal tastes. I can vary ingredients and add additional ingredients that I think will enhance what I’m making. All told, this is an excellent cookbook with dishes that turn out almost exactly like you’ll be served in chain restaurants.
