Product Description

Product Description

This irresistible collection of cloned recipes is the product of years of obsessive research by self-confessed junk-food addict Todd Wilbur. Big food manufacturers guard their recipes like the gold in Fort Knox, but Wilbur's dogged pursuit of taste-alike versions of his - and our - favorites has paid off in this unique cookbook of 50 scrumptious treats. Whether you're a kid or just a kid at heart, you'll have a great time making the incredible clones of a McDonald's Big Mac, or a Burger King Whopper, and many other famous foods. Helpful illustrations let you recreate them to perfection. And both taste and guilty pleasures are just like the real thing!


About the Author

Todd Wilbur is the author of Top Secret Recipes, More Top Secret Recipes, Top Secret Restaurant Recipes, and Top Secret Recipes Lite! The recipes in each book are the product of research, creative engineering, and obsession. When not taste-testing recipes on himself, his friends, and TV talk show hosts, Todd lives in Las Vegas, Nevada.

4.0 out of 5 stars A goldmine (But you won't be cooking "from scratch"), 15 Feb 1999
By A Customer
I really loved the cookbook. The only objection I had was that a lot of recipes were made from cake mixes and the like. For me, that spoils the point. The whole idea of cooking things myself is so they will be fresher and more wholesome. I would have liked the book better if he called for more actual ingredients (flour, sugar) but if you don't mind using mixes, I think you will have no objections at all.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Approximations, But Some Recipes Miss the Mark, 22 April 1999
By A Customer
This book is a great way to create some pretty close "secret recipes." I have enjoyed many of the recipes and the history lessons. There is to much emphasis on how to stack the condiments on a burger the correct way for my tastes, but my kids have enjoyed not buying out to see how close that we can come to "the real thing." This has has saved money and added some quality family time. Laure'

3.0 out of 5 stars Mr.Wilbur is off on the KFC coleslaw&biscuits,I know, did it, 10 Jun 1999
By A Customer
For the most part, Mr.Wilbur s "secrets" closely guarded by eateries.Tho' he is off a good country mile on KFC.Coleslaw is :shredded cabbage, carrotts,onions,bind w/Miracle Whip,sugar,cider vinegar,salt,touch of milk.3 days in fridge will last.Biscuits are:regular flour, white Crisco type shortening,use paddle of mixer, make course crumbs add leaveners,baking powder,sugar and butter-milk. Knead briefly on floured surface after all mixed. Roll out 2" thick,brush off flour on top,won't cook in oven and tastes ugh.2"cutter,press down, twist &you seal the sides,doesn't rise evenly.350 oven and keep close together for soft sides,apart for crispy edges.Brush with butter/margerine when done--10-12 minutes.
