Eat your favorite restaurant recipes as often as you like, but spend less money than ever.

Doesn't that sound like fun?

How often does your family eat out? Would you eat out more if it wasn't so expensive?

Do you have favorite restaurants you simply love? My family certainly does. But let's face it, paying for a family to eat at restaurants these days is expensive.

Well, I have found there is a very fun way to get those yummy restaurant tastes your family loves and yet not break your budget. Simply use copykat cookbook recipes.

What are copykat cookbook recipes?

These are recipes developed by people, like us, who love restaurant cooking but don't want to pay those high prices every time they want their favorite meal. Obviously, the original recipes in restaurants are closely guarded secrets and they're not just handing those recipes out to their customers. But clever cooks have spent some time in the kitchen and duplicated the flavors and tastes of lots and lots of famous restaurant recipes. That's why these are called copykat recipes or copykat cookbook recipes. Some people refer to them as 'clones' of the originals.

The bottom line is, these recipes taste like the real thing and you can make them for a fraction of the cost in your own kitchen. Think of the possibilities.

  • start a weekly 'restaurant' night in your home, only stay at home to enjoy it!
  • let everyone in the family choose a favorite copykat recipe each week to prepare.
  • using copykat recipes, you've now got one less night a week to figure out 'what's for dinner' (don't you hate that question?).
  • try out restaurant copykat recipes in your home first, before you decide to spend on another expensive meal. If you truly enjoy the copycat recipe, you'll be assured you will love the real thing the next time eating out fits in your budget!
  • have a dinner party and serve up something special from your copykat cookbook recipes. Can they tell if it's the real thing...or your home-cooked clone?
  • use the form below to tell me your favorite ideas for using copykat recipes.

Warning: There is a downside to using these copykat recipes. (Or maybe not.)


You do have to cook. These are NOT the original restaurant meals, but they taste very much similar and to get that effect, you'll need to spend time in your kitchen. Truthfully, this is so much fun to do as a family. Using a copykat cookbook means "Mom's Restaurant" is open for business and making these copykat recipes means you can enjoy terrific time in the kitchen with your whole family. Teach your kids to cook in a very fun way. Teach them the value of money, too, as they discover that they don't have to spend top dollar to enjoy delicious food. You just need a good recipe book! (If you'd rather just have weekly dinner menus prepared for you, click here.)

If you love to cook, like I do, then this is a bonus, not a downside to using these fun copykat recipes. Sometimes half the battle in getting dinner ready is deciding what to cook; so having these copykat cookbook recipes on hand is a real timesaver, too. For maximum efficiency, pick out your copykat recipe for next week, this week, jot down the ingredients you'll need and grab those goodies next time you're at the store. No need for an extra stop.

Just to make sure you'll enjoy this cookbook filled with copykat recipes from very famous restaurants, check out the scroll-down menu on the webpage where I purchased my copykat cookbook recipes. You are sure to see your family's favorite restaurant recipes listed!

Enjoy!
