I looked this over and there were a number of food chain recipe clones I did not have access to in my city. I am in a small town in Iowa.
But I was able to compare a few other dishes and am happy to say that those are spot on to the real thing. The Wendy’s chili is very close to the same. Starbucks drinks ditto.. sugar cookies too.
Did not have more time to test dishes but the selection in this book is very good and even if they don’t taste exactly the same as the FAMOUS dish, the dishes look very tasty!
I would recommend this book. Thank you to the publisher and to NetGalley for allowing me this ARC.

I liked looking through this cookbook. The beginning has some tips on how you can come up with your own copycat dishes. I thought that was interesting, and I have found myself following some of those tips when going to a restaurant.

There is a variety of different types of recipes and from different eateries. I was not familiar with all of the restaurants listed, but thought that the recipes picked sounded good.

I could see myself using this cookbook to save some money and recreate dishes for my family. I think that each recipe included a photo. That is very important to me. Most of them seemed simple to make and had easy to follow directions.

Many thanks to Shadow Mountain Publishing and Netgalley for the opportunity to view this cookbook. I'm happy to leave an honest review.

Yes! Finally! The cookbook everyone asked for! In a time where communities are pinching pennies, eating out is just not in the budget. This book is helpful to all those who are trying to eat healthier, cook from home, and save some money. I’m all for it.

I am from the Utah/Idaho area and hold most of these restaurants (even the ones you’ve never heard of) dear to my heart. I feel like copycat recipes you find online are never, or rarely, identical to the real thing. And these ladies must have taken some serious time cultivating these because I can say, at least for a couple of these recipes, that they are almost completely identical!

You will find everything from sauces, to entrees, drinks, and desserts, and I can tell you now, I don’t think a single one will disappoint. Love this recipe book! Definitely will purchase it when it comes out.

This cookbook is relevant now than any other time. With restaurant prices soaring this gives the family a chance to experience food from their favorite restaurants in the comfort of their homes. Mixing and matching a menu from several restaurants in one setting without having to travel or have the expense for a family. From beverages, appetizers, sauces and main meals don't forget desserts, this cookbook has vivid photos and a recipe that will come close or even better than the restaurant. A wonderful way to experience a variety of foods/cuisines while building family time. Thank you to Netgalley, the authors and publisher for the opportunity. Now off to try some of these.

I made a few of the drinks in this book, and will try the salsa and meals as soon as possible.
The places inspired by are US cafe, fast food, diner, restaurant or supermarket cafes franchises, though some of them can be found in Europe.
This is an excellent idea, to copycat your favourites at home. I have been into this concept lately, and am glad a book of recipes with this concept exists now. This is an uncomplicated, minimalistic recipe book with stunning photos, and easy-to-follow, home-cooking friendly recipes. It is what it says on the cover, nothing more, nothing less.

Most Requested Copycat Dishes is like hitting the kitchen jackpot! There are 101 amazing recipes from all your favorite places. Everything is covered: breakfast, lunch, dinner, sides, drinks, desserts, snacks, sauces, and more! I found all the directions simple and easy to follow and while not everything will turn out exactly like you may find in some of the restaurants, they are a very enjoyable second. I will be keeping this on hand and sharing with many!
I received a copy from the publisher via NetGalley and all opinions expressed are solely my own, freely given.

Every recipe I ever wanted. From Cafe Rio to Taco Time. Soups, breads, salads, and even sauces. I can't wait to try these.

The Most Requested Copycat Dishes: 101 Homemade Versions of Your Favorite Restaurant Recipes was a book I eagerly sought out to see what copycat recipes my family wanted to learn how to make. Besides finding many recipes I could not wait to try, some of the recipes shocked me when I saw what some of the ingredients were. The book is divided into the following chapters:

Drinks and Shakes

Breakfast

Appetizers and Snacks

Lunchtime

Sauces and Dressings

Side Dishes

Main Dishes

Desserts

Some of the recipes that I found to be of particular interest were: Frosted Lemonade, Homemade Frosty, Pumpkin Spice Pancakes, Queso, Chicken Enchilada Chili, Tomato Basil Soup, Copycat Arby's Sauce, Homemade Chick-fil-A sauce, Breadtwists, Cilantro Lime Rice, Homemade Animal Style Fries, Chocolate Bundt Cake, Fudge, Homemade Moose Munch Popcorn, Sugar Cookies, and Malasadas. Because of my geographical location, I wasn't familiar with all the restaurants. Despite that, all of the recipes looked delicious. Making many of the recipes is quite simple. It didn't feel like any of the recipes were overly complicated or time-consuming.

I LOVED this recipe book! So many times, my family has gone to a restaurant and absolutely loved the food and wanted to recreate it at home. However, finding a good recipe, that tastes similar, has been difficult. Out of the several we have tries so far, the taste is almost identical! We are excited to try the rest!

Years ago, my husband and I ate at one of the first California Pizza Kitchens and had a pizza with such a wonderfully exotic taste that we spent years wishing we knew how to replicate it. The search has finally ended - the recipe for Thai Chicken Pizza is only one of the many glorious recipes in this beautiful book. I wasn't familiar with several of the restaurants whose recipes were copied, but they all looked so good that I would love to try them even without knowing if the taste was authentic or not. And - if I ever visit a place that has a Rios, you can be sure I'll eat there!

The recipes are well laid out and most of them easy to make, with common household ingredients and tools. The pictures make your mouth water. I look forward to getting a paper copy when this comes out! Note to those with dietary needs: there is no nutritional information.

Many thanks to Arrow Mountain Publishing and NetGalley for the chance to read this advance digital copy in exchange for my honest review.

This cookbook is so fun! I love the variety of recipes it features. The photos are gorgeous, the pages are easy to read. The recipes are easy to follow. I tried to make a recipe from each of the sections and they all turned out great!

I was so happy with this collection of recipes I think I need to purchase myself a copy as soon as it comes out. I was very pleased with the range of restaurants and brands that were represented here from fast food to casual sit down restaurants, theme parks, and even a cruise line! This book will surely be popular on the library shelf.

Thank you Shadow Mountain Publishing and NetGalley for the advanced electronic review copy of this book. This is a nice cookbook with recipes that are similar to the ones from some well-known places like Disney parks, Chili’s, Applebees, etc. There is a colorful photo accompanying every recipe and the ingredients are mostly packaged and conventional. With my allergies and having to adhere to a specific diet, I won’t be making any of these recipes but am nevertheless happy to have an opportunity to read and review this book.

Seriously can't get over this cookbook! The recipes are so easy and the pictures are beautiful! They did an excellent job recreating favorites from so many popular places. I will definitely be buying a hard copy of this!

Easy to use! The recipes included were simple to understand and the instructions were clear. If you love making copycat dishes this is a great recipe book for you!

I highly recommend this yummy cookbook of copycat dishes from numerous restaurants. I can't wait to order it for our high school library. So far I can attest to the amazing similarities between the Chick Fil A original sauce and the Chipolte rice. The recipes are quick, easy and clearly described. Each recipe contains a fantastic photo that is sure to entice readers. Some of the restaurants are more obscure, but there are enough nationwide chains to appeal to all readers.

This book was so interesting and fun! I loved trying to make some of these dishes to see if it actually compared to the real deal. Highly recommend this book!

This cookbook is filled with copycat recipes from the places we all love. From drinks to desserts and everything in between. Nothing Bundt Cakes’s and Taco Bell beef (there is an ingredient that will throw you a curveball!).

So far I have made the Starbucks Caramel Apple Spice Cider and Olive Garden dressing. This week Panda Express Orange Chicken is on the menu.

This is a great fun cookbook to have with some many ideas! thank you NetGalley and Shadow Mountain Publishing for granting my wish!

I like copycat cookbooks because I like to control the ingredients and sodium in my food, but also like to take inspiration from some of the most popular dishes out there. This is a great way to make a familiar meal/drink/dessert and also save money on dining out, which is very expensive lately. The downside to this book for me was that there were many restaurants in the book that I didn’t recognize or had never heard of (most were on the west coast).

This is a great cookbook! I loved the abundance of pictures and the recipes are pretty easy to follow along with and the ingredient list isn’t over the top with most items people don’t normally keep around.
Will absolutely use a lot of these recipes!
