It’s always fun to recreate your favorite restaurant dishes at home. There are dozens books on the market with recipes that are very close to the actual restaurant dishes. One such book, The Everything Restaurant Copycat Recipes Cookbook: 200 Easy Recipes to Re-Create Your Favorite Restaurant Dishes at Home, by Kelly Jaggers, is part of The Everything series. It has dozens of recipes that are supposed to taste just like they are supposed to.

This cookbook is different from many, in that many of the recipes call for convenience foods such as refrigerated doughs, bottled sauces, frozen breaded chicken and fish, Bisquick, etc. While these items save time in the kitchen, the actual restaurants don’t use them, so the recipes from this book don’t taste exactly like the originals. Some of the soups and salads are close, but sauces vary from brand to brand, and there aren’t recipes for the ones that actually come from the restaurants.

Another problem is that this cookbook has a limited number of photographs – the ones included are very nice – and most of the dishes aren’t pictured.

The recipes that are included are written in the traditional manner with the ingredients listed first, followed by step-by-step instructions. The recipes are easy to follow and both advanced and beginning cooks can successfully complete the dishes.

All told, while there are a lot of appealing recipes, they are similar to those restaurant favorites, but not as close as are found in other restaurant copycat books.
