Sales have been slowing at national restaurant chains like Red Lobster, TGI Fridays, and the Cheesecake Factory due to the increase in gas prices. Not to mention many people’s financial problems of unemployment, foreclosure, and so on. But a lot of us have gotten used to recipes from restaurant chains. I remember how years ago I heard someone say that the highest praise used to be telling a restaurant their meals tasted homemade. “But now the kids praise Mom’s cooking by telling her it tastes as good as McDonalds.”
I recently ran across a complete book of copycat restaurant recipes, America's Secret Recipes, that recreates recipes from restaurant chains. Not only do their recipes taste just like the food served in the restaurants we’ve gotten used to visiting, but they’re an awful lot cheaper than going out to dinner.
According to Zagat, the average family eats out three or more times per week, whereas a generation ago, it was something families would only do on very special occasions or while on vacation. With America's Secret Recipes, you can feed your family at home using these recipes from restaurant chains. You’ll provide the same great tastes they’d get by eating out—and the money that stays in your pocket can help to pay for that roof over your head.
