The Everything Restaurant Copycat Recipes Cookbook: 200 Easy Recipes to Re-Create Your Favorite Restaurant Dishes at Home

 

The Everything Restaurant Copycat Recipes Cookbook by Kelly Jaggers is a cookbook and recipe collection with 200 famous restaurant copycat dishes to recreate at home.  Due out 18th March 2025 from Simon & Schuster on their Adams Media imprint, it's 272 pages and will be available in paperback and ebook formats. According to the publishing info, some of the content is compiled from earlier Adams "Everything" series publications.

The layout is logical and easy to follow. The introduction covers the basic tools, supplies, appliances, and pantry lists. The following chapters include the recipes arranged roughly by category: breakfast & brunch, appetizers & snacks, soup & salad, sandwiches & burgers, beef chicken & pork, seafood & vegetarian, pasta & noodles, sides, desserts, and drinks.

Ingredient measurements are supplied in imperial (American) measurements only.  There's a conversion chart for metric measures in the appendices. The nutritional information is not included.  Extra tips or recipe alternatives are listed in sidebars with the recipes. The recipes themselves are fairly straightforward and are made with easily sourced ingredients. Many are very simple and should be well within the abilities of the average reader.

The photography is not abundant; most of the recipes are not illustrated, but the photographs which are included are clear and well done.

This is a huge collection of recipes and even allowing for the fact that some of them are very similar to others in the same category, this will keep fast food/restaurant lovers going for ages. 

Four stars.
