That's
what this book claims ...
but is it true?
I confess:
I have a really naughty, guilty pleasure.
It's a wonderful
dish they serve at Outback Steakhouse restaurants, and
it's called the Bloomin' Onion. It's a huge onion
that's battered, fried and sliced a certain way and is simply
melt-in-your-mouth delectable.
Now,
anyone can batter and fry an onion, but Outback does it like no one
else. Except that now I
know how they do it ... and better yet, I can duplicate
it at home ... exactly!
Have you
ever absolutely fallen in
love with a dish at a particular
restaurant? So much that you went home and tried to make
it in your own kitchen? Or just wished you could?
The
problem with most of those delicious restaurant menu items is that
their recipes are usually closely
guarded secrets.
In my
first attempts to "copycat" Outback's Bloomin' Onion, I tried all kinds
of recipes from books for dishes that were supposed
to taste like the genuine thing, but none of them quite hit the
mark. I experimented on my own, varying ingredients, cooking
time, etc., but no luck.
Then
someone told me about this e-book called America's Most
Wanted Recipes. I checked out the
contents, and sure enough,
it included a recipe for that good ol' Bloomin'
Onion. What the heck, I thought, for 20 bucks I'll
give it a try. (A list of the included recipes can be found here.)
Success!
Ecstasy! I followed the easy,
step-by-step
instructions in the book, and soon I was scarfing down an
honest-to-goodness "Bloomin' Onion" that I had made in my own
kitchen. Really, I couldn't tell one iota of difference
between mine and what they serve at Outback.
My
family was amazed, too.
Although
I had downloaded America's Most Wanted Recipes for
that one recipe, I started going through the e-book and
making other restaurant-based dishes, too. "Benihana" hibachi
steak. "Chili's" baby back ribs. "KFC" fried
chicken. "Olive Garden" lasagna and breadsticks. "Applebee's"
tequila lime chicken. Even
cinnamon scones like the kind you
can get at Starbucks to munch with your coffee.
I've
seen other cookbooks that claim to tell you how to duplicate these
and other secret
recipes from the most popular restaurants and chains
in America. Based on my own kitchen tests, America's Most Wanted Recipes
is the only one that lives up to its
promise, recipe after recipe.
I
don't know how the author, Ron Douglas, got hold of these
recipes. Frankly, I don't need to know. All I care
about is that he has assembled a huge compendium of recipes for dishes
that you would swear had been cooked up in the kitchen of
your favorite restaurant.
Don't
take my word for it. Download America's Most Wanted
Recipes for yourself. Ron offers a
full, 60-day money-back
guarantee, so you'll be risking nothing.
He
also has some great bonuses, including lifetime access to a secret
archive with more amazing recipes, that you can keep and
continue to
use even if you return his restaurant "copycat" book.
Check out
his Web site now and take a look at the list of recipes that
are in his book. I'm sure there's something there that you or
your family would love to enjoy at
home--while you save tons
of money
over eating out!
America's Most Wanted Recipes
lives up to its name.
Now,
please excuse me while I go indulge a certain guilty pleasure ...
