The most unusual bookselling hit of the week has to be America’s Most Wanted Recipes: Delicious Recipes from Your Family’s Favorite Restaurants by Ron Douglas.
Oddly, Douglas is a former finance director at JP Morgan and his book has been heavily featured in the US media this week.
His book reveals copycat versions of secret recipes from famous restaurants. There are over 200 recipes from 57 restaurants including The Cheesecake Factory, KFC, Olive Garden, P.F. Chang’s, Red Lobster, and Outback Steakhouse.
I am stunned that anyone would wish to replicate KFC food in their own home.
Agreed - KFC is yucky. BUT, I wouldn’t say no to the recipe for the steak sauce they use at Japanese Village. That stuff makes plain rice sing.
I wonder if the book has the recipe for Scooby Snacks?
