THE EVERYTHING® RESTAURANT RECIPES COOKBOOK

Dear Reader,
Trying to create your favorite restaurant foods at home can be fun and save you a lot of money in these
tough economic times. Most of us cannot afford to eat out as much as we used to, so I've been
searching for ways to make foods that I enjoy the most at home and share them with you. I live in a
town with no stoplights or drive-thru windows, so fast food is not readily available to me. When I get
hungry for a particular type of food, my only option is to go to the grocery store and figure out what I
need to make it at home. That has been the inspiration for this book; the recipes are arranged
according to food cravings. If you are in the mood for Italian, you can find popular dishes on the menu
at Olive Garden, Romano's Macaroni Grill, and Buca di Beppo. Want something from your favorite
bar and grill? There is a nice selection of recipes from Applebee's, Chili's, and T.G.I. Friday's. Don't
forget dessert. We often skip it when dining out, but now you can have your cake and eat it, too! Hope
you enjoy exploring these recipes and make some great restaurant meals at home for your family and
friends.
