 Ron Does It Again! July 16, 2010

About a year ago when Ron Douglas released America's Most Wanted Recipes, I grabbed it and was giddy with excitement at all of the "famous" dishes I could now make. I love to cook - and eat - so I spent the past year trying many of the recipes.
Now, here he is again with MORE America's Most Wanted Recipes!
Ron, Ron, Ron! You're going to make me get fatter!
Just a quick glance inside this book tells me I will have another fun year cooking some of my all time favorite dishes from some of my favorite restaurants!
One thing I like that Ron did was tell you about what you pay to make these recipes at home so you can see the money saved vs. eating out.
If I were to wish for one thing inside this book would be for some nutritional information. But, on the other hand, I never ask for it when I visit these restaurants.
If you like eating out but hate the cost, if you like to cook, I highly recommend you grab this book today.

This cookbook brings recipes from popular restaurants to the cooks at home. Ron Douglas says they are under $10, but sometimes that is $10 a serving per person.
For some the introductory sections can be confusing; one is titled Time saving ideas and another Cost-cutting ideas. So in 4 pages you'll be told to go to a butcher and go to a large warehouse to buy meat. To cut costs get a whole chicken and cut it up, but then to save time spend the extra money on bagged prepared salad greens - certainly less time to cut up than a chicken. After reading this some people might not know what to do?
There are some very good recipes in here, including a baked corned beef brisket, good and different from the usual use of briskets for corned beef and cabbage. Probably the 2 most famous recipes included are Outback Steakhouse's bloomin' onion and Pepperidge Farm's Milano cookies.
Included are recipes from A&W, Applebee's, Benihana, Chi-chi's, Chili's, Olive Garden, Red Lobster, Macaroni Grill and Sonic Drive-in among others.
These are not the easiest recipes in the world to make, but a cook of average ability could do them. Many are fried or cooked in oil, but they are taste proven and not impossible to make.
 Pretty good recipes...with a little tweaking August 8, 2010

I love the idea of being able to make your favorite foods at home. I often try to re-create my favorite restaurant meals at home. I was very excited when I purchased this book, but the recipes were a bit of a let down. The food was good, but it didn't taste exactly the same as it does in the restaurant. I have found that the recipes are a good starting point, and that once I play with the ingredients, I usually get a good dish. For example, I had to change some of the proportions in the Chicken Saltimboca to get it to taste more similar to the restaurant dish. The other thing that was a bit of a disappointment was that a lot of the recipes seem pretty generic. For example, the Golden Corral roll recipe is a recipe I've seen several times. I was hoping for recipes that represented the restaurants' uniqueness better.
