I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. This book has recipes from all your favorite restaurants.

I'm so exicted to try some of these recipes. I used to live by a Chevys and no longer do. I didn't know I needed the copy cat recipe for their corn, but I am so excited to make it!

I received an advanced reader's copy of this from NetGalley in exchange for my honest reviews.

It was a fun cookbook to try out- I'd probably check it out again from the library and do a theme night. The kids and I made several things= the family favorite was probably the Oriental Chicken Salad. The dressing was spot on- and I cheated on the chicken fingers but everybody had seconds same night and there was none leftover so I call it a win! We also tried the egg bites and thought they were just meh= I like the instant pot version better. All in all though- we had a good time trying things out, it counted for a day of learning for our summer learning program with the library and we had yummy salad in the end!

This had some really wonderful recipes I'll definitely be making! I will also be purchasing this for the library because I think our patrons will definitely love this.

Thanks to NetGalley for an advanced copy. The recipes were fine, but none were really anything I'd seek out actively. As someone who lives in the south, I would have maybe appreciated more restaurant recipes from non-Arizona restaurants?

Honestly, there's a lot in here I'd make but also, there's a lot of restaurants in here that I've never heard of. Especially restaurants from the Midwest. I was super excited to see the chocolate cake from Carnival cruises though! I can't wait to try to make that!

This is a nice cookbook with an assortment of copycat recipes from places like Disney theme parks, fast casual restaurants and fast food places. A lot of the restaurants seem to be in states like Utah and I am not familiar with them (plus tons from theme parks) but some are for places like Applebees. There are photos of every recipe but no nutritional information. They include a lot of purchased processed foods like nondairy whipped topping and they tend to be rather unhealthy but I suppose most restaurant favorites are. With our family’s dietary restrictions and my focus on healthy ingredients, I wouldn’t make most of these and they often felt like quite a lot of work, but if you miss a favorite dish from somewhere or wanted to save some money, this could be a fun way to satisfy your cravings.

I read a temporary digital copy of this book for review.

Not from the US so I haven’t been to most of the restaurants mentioned and if it did I wouldn’t have picked the foods here but the recipes are played out well and easy to read, the phots are nice but look a bit stock.

With lots of familiar and craveable recipes, this one will be a hit. The ingredient lists are accessible and everything seems to be something that average home cooks will actually be able to accomplish. Nice photography compliments the recipes.
