Synopsis

This irresistible collection of cloned recipes is the product of years of obsessive research by self-confessed junk-food addict Todd Wilbur. Big food manufacturers guard their recipes like the gold in Fort Knox, but Wilbur's dogged pursuit of taste-alike versions of his - and our - favorites has paid off in this unique cookbook of 50 scrumptious treats. Whether you're a kid or just a kid at heart, you'll have a great time making the incredible clones of a McDonald's Big Mac, or a Burger King Whopper, and many other famous foods. Helpful illustrations let you recreate them to perfection. And both taste and guilty pleasures are just like the real thing!

Media Reviews
Praise for Todd Wilbur's #1 bestselling Top Secret Recipes series

[Wilbur's] problem isn't that the recipes he's devised aren't good enough, it's that they're too good. --Entertainment Weekly

There is something magically compelling about the idea of making such foods at home...The allure is undeniable, and [the books are] stuffed with tidbits and lore you're unlikely to find anywhere else. These probably come as close as you can get to the original recipes. --Boston Herald

This is the cookbook to satisfy all your cravings. --Juli Huss, author of The Faux Gourmet

The recipes are easy to follow and... by preparing your own versions of restaurant meals you will almost always save money. --Arizona Daily Star

[Wilbur's] recipes use everyday supermarket ingredients to bring brand-name foods to the home kitchen. Perhaps not surprisingly, his recipes are not complex. If anything, they reflect how easy home cooking can be. --Star Tribune (Minneapolis--St. Paul)

The assignment: Find out how to make the tasty Jack Daniels Grill Sauce used by T.G.I. Fridays restaurants. The client: Oprah Winfrey. The gumshoe: Todd Wilbur. Mission Impossible for even the most savvy food expert. But not so for Todd Wilbur, a crackerjack culinary sleuth. --Pocono Record

Many of [Wilbur's] dishy imitations come, like a box of Cracker Jacks, with a surprise inside. --Mademoiselle
