If you are like me, you love to dine out and enjoy dinner at a fine restaurant.

The aroma of food, dishes clanging in the background, a relaxed casual atmosphere. As you look into the kitchen you see the flames rising from the pans, chefs making the plates look like just right. Friend and family at our plateau speaking about the days events. Remembering the great times had in the past. These moments are a treasure in our hearts.

That is, until the bill comes. You can’t get out of a fine dinning restaurant for under 0 theses days. And that’s just for two, don’t even think of bringing the children without cashing your paycheck first. The high cost of intake out limits these times to only special occasions.

Have you tried to reenact the same scenario at home only to find the recipes in those other cookbook don’t even come close to the tantalizing taste in the restaurant. What if you could get a hold of those recipes?

I’ve been a pro cook for over 30 years. And I’ve gathered thousands of recipes…

As Ron Douglas, Author of one of my favorite cookbooks, AMERICA’S MOST WANTED RECIPES, says, “Of course, there’s nothing wrong with spending money on top-class, mouth watering food which gets everyone salivating and craving for more… But what if you could cook these killer dishes on demand, from your very own kitchen whenever you felt like it — make anyone, your friends or family, go all wild and gaga over your food at the next bash, celebration or gathering — these dishes for a fee and begin earning good money simply by following the surefire instructions in this recipe book…”

 

Here’s a Chef’s Secret: we’ve been using the Great Restaurant Recipes for years, both in restaurant kitchens — and at home.

From Applebee’s Tequila Lime Chicken to Starbuck’s Espresso Truffles — from KFC Chicken to Cheesecake Factory cheesecake — from Apricot Chicken Drumsticks to Fish Fingers to Baked Ziti — we use ‘em all.  Maybe you are cooking this special meal for family.  Or friends.  Or that date you met on WUVING.com – no matter who your guests are — they’ll love it.

Here are 5 of my favourite — and most favourite recipes:
