Have you ever been at a famous restaurant and thought “I could make that”. Well, now you can. Kelly Jaggers serves up 200 delicious copycat recipes in The Everything Restaurant Copycat Recipes Cookbook. This is a cookbook you will definitely want to have! The recipes begin with Breakfast and Brunch and end with Desserts. Illustrated with gorgeous, mouth watering photographs, all directions are easy to follow. Chapter One is titled Creating the Restaurant Feeling at Home and lists ingredients and cooking tools to have on hand. These are basics and not hard to find. On to the recipes!

I’ve tried to pick out some of my favorites and, believe me, it was hard to narrow them down. Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls. As I read the recipe, I can smell them. The ingredients are surprisingly simple and the rolls take about twenty minutes to make - and less time to eat them.. There’s a recipe for Outback Steakhouse Bloomin’ Onion and one for TGI Friday’s Loaded Potato Skins. You’ll learn how to make Arby’s Classic Roast Beef Sandwiches, Cracker Barrel Corn Muffins and so much more.

The Everything Restaurant Copycat Recipes Cookbook belongs on every cook’s recipe shelf. It’s fun, not too fancy, and provides familiar treats for your family. Enjoy! 5 stars.

The Everything Restaurant Copycat Recipes Cookbook is filled with dupes of well known US restaurant foods.

The book is laid out in a clear order, with an excellent beginning section for stocking the pantry, the required utensils, and basic food prep techniques for those just starting out in their own kitchen.

The recipes themselves are laid out in a logical order: Breakfast, Appetisers, Soups, Sandwiches, Entrees (Mains) - Meat, Sseafood, Pasta - Sides, Desserts and Beverages, and there is a section on conversions to Metric at the very end.

Not being from the US, I can't vouch for the accuracy of the recipes, but they are laid out well, and easy to follow. While there are a LOT of recipes (over 200 pages of recipes), there are very few photos of the finished product. As someone unfamiliar with many of these dishes, I would have liked more visual prompts so I know what I am aiming for.

As this is a US cookbook, everything is in US measurements/scales, and there are references to local brands/products that are not found elsewhere, so conversions and substitutions (or a lot of googling for alternatives) is a must for those elsewhere around the world. There is also reference to items such as prepared pizza dough (for example) - but the assumption is there that this has been purchased or made by the reader.

Overall an interesting recipe book, and I'll give some of the interesting ones a try

~Many thanks to NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review~

This was a book filled with a lot of delicious copycat recipes it has a wide range of options from different restaurants and I was excited to see some of my favorite dishes. I also appreciated that it had some recipes that asked for premade things like pizza dough and recipes made completely from scratch. I only wished it had more photos of the food but it is otherwise a great book of recipes and I can’t wait to make some of my favorite copycats.

I was so excited to read this cookbook since it contained copycat recipes from popular restaurants like The Cheesecake Factory and Buffalo Wild Wings. All of the recipes featured in this cookbook sound absolutely delicious and it amazed me how well the author replicated the recipes for so many different dishes, My favorites were the recipes from The Cheesecake Factory and IHOP, places I love eating at. I think a lot of people will enjoy this cookbook because it gives them the ability to recreate their favorite restaurant dishes at home. The ingredients for almost all of the dishes are simple and easy to attain. I will definitely keep this cookbook on hand so I can try out all of my favorite recipes from this cookbook!

Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

The Everything Restaurant Copycat Recipes Cookbook is cookbook that has copycat recipes from well know restaurants. The book begins with an extensive introduction with tips and tricks. The recipes are organized by course, and are well laid out. Each recipe has an interesting introduction and some have a quick fact. The recipes are easy to understand and most are good for beginners as well as more advanced cooks. There is a good variety of restaurants features. My only complaint would be that it would have been nice to have a few more photos of the food. Otherwise, I thought this was a good cookbook.

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.

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes

This was seriously an everything cookbook. The recipes were arranged by meal and occasion. I liked the useful boxes for the recipes; they made it really helpful, and the healthier substitutions at the end were a great touch.
Thank you to NetGalley, to the author, and to the publisher for this ARC.

Recreating your favourite restaurant dishes at home sounds appealing, but unfortunately this book falls short of the mark.

There’s no shortage of recipes here, that’s not an issue at all. There’s all aspects of a restaurant menu here- breakfast favourites, lunch and dinner ideas, desserts and sides, as well as drinks too. There are just nowhere near enough photographs of the dishes to make this book stand out. Many of the dishes are easy to find online or in other cookbooks, so there’s no real ground broken here. If you like a physical book or are just starting your cookbook collection, this book would probably suit you, but unfortunately it’s not one I would pick up myself.

I received a free ebook copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for a fair review.

The book was beautifully written and everything looks delicious! Overall, the cookbook was well written and I did really enjoy it. Thank you for this advance reading copy!

As an Australian, who does not have access to some of these restaurants, I have an appreciation for this book. It has excellent sections including the different restaurant chains. The recipes are well laid out and easy to read and follow. My only wish is that there was more imagery of the food but will I try some of these recipes? Absolutely.

So you're craving a chain restaurant's meal but the place is closed? Or you're too sick to travel?
Here's your cheat sheet for when "you can't get there from here." Lots of fun recipes from KFC, Cheesecake Factory, Olive Garden and more.

Recommended if you'd rather cook than eat someone else's cooking!

Such a nice book. I enjoyed all the fun copycat recipes. I know I’ll be making them for sure. Can’t wait to try the Cinnabon cinnamon rolls!

There are favorites from Olive Garden, Bob Evans, Cracker Barrel, Popeyes, and so many more.

Thanks to @netgalley and Adams Media for the opportunity to read this in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion

The Everything Restaurant Copycat Recipes Cookbook has a LOT of great recipes from favorite places to eat out. I rarely eat out, getting expensive, so this is a great way to get your favorites and make them at home. Can't wait to try some of my favorites to see how they compare to the real thing. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

I absolutely loved The Everything Restaurant Copycat Recipes Cookbook. All the the recipes that Kelly Jaggers has chosen to add in the book seem simple and straight forward. I was especially excited to see recipes for Olive Garden Soups and side dishes at Cracker Barrel. I can't wait to try them! As someone who no longer eats at fast food restaurants, I was pleasantly surprised to see recipes in here to make versions of Burger King's French Toast Sticks and Taco Bell's crunchwrap supreme. That will be useful for when I get a nostalgic craving for either of them. Kelly Jaggers has included so many recipes in this book, that there is sure to be something in it for everyone!

Loved the recipes. I can't wait to try some this weekend with my family.

Very cute and well presented.
