I own all of Todd Wilbur’s ‘Top Secret’ cookbooks and use them quite frequently. This one, Top Secret Restaurant Recipes 2 was in published in 2006 and features 150 recipes.

For those of you who aren’t familiar with Mr. Wilbur, he is referred to as the ‘King of Clone Recipes’. He brings the restaurant to you… no tip required. If you tend to eat out a lot, these cookbooks can save you a bundle.

This edition will teach you to make signature dishes from eateries such as Applebee’s, California Pizza Kitchen, The Cheesecake Factory, Chili’s, Hard Rock Café, IHOP, Olive Garden, Outback Steak House, Red Robin, T.G.I Friday’s and more.

The thing I like best about all of Todd’s recipes is the fact that they call for common ingredients and are pretty darn simple to prepare. For example, do you know that you can make Twinkie molds out of aluminum foil? (There is no need to purchase the $25 pan, made specifically for this purpose.)

If you love Buffalo Wild Wings and Sauces, this is the cookbook for you! Recipes include: Spicy Garlic Wing Sauce, Medium Wing Sauce and Hot Wing Sauce. YUM!!

Do you own any of these cookbooks? If so, what is your favorite recipe? We’d all love to know.
