Industry Reviews
"There is something magically compelling about the idea of making such foods at home...The allure is undeniable, and [the books are] stuffed with tidbits and lore you're unlikely to find anywhere else. These probably come as close as you can get to the original recipes."--Boston Herald
"This is the cookbook to satisfy all your cravings."--Juli Huss, author of The Faux Gourmet
"The recipes are easy to follow and... by preparing your own versions of restaurant meals you will almost always save money."--Arizona Daily Star
"[Wilbur's] recipes use everyday supermarket ingredients to bring brand-name foods to the home kitchen. Perhaps not surprisingly, his recipes are not complex. If anything, they reflect how easy home cooking can be."--Star Tribune (Minneapolis--St. Paul)
"The assignment: Find out how to make the tasty Jack Daniels Grill Sauce used by T.G.I. Friday's restaurants. The client: Oprah Winfrey. The gumshoe: Todd Wilbur. Mission Impossible for even the most savvy food expert. But not so for Todd Wilbur, a crackerjack culinary sleuth."--Pocono Record
"Many of [Wilbur's] dishy imitations come, like a box of Cracker Jacks, with a surprise inside."--Mademoiselle
