Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Todd Wilbur, the master of fast food replication, is back, and accompanying him are 37 new recipes. More Top Secret Recipes follows triumphantly in the footsteps of his first tryout with kitchen clones, Top Secret Recipes. Included in this new collection are recipes that fans steadfastly demanded--including A&W Root Beer and an easy concoction for creating the perfect Oreo in less than an hour. All that's needed for this magical cookie is cake mix, shortening, sugar, and vanilla. Simplicity is the key to success for all of Wilbur's duplicates--nothing more than simple ingredients and basic cooking skills are required. Other culinary clones include Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls, Little Caesar's Crazy Bread, and a divine recipe for Bailey's Original Irish Cream. Quirky diagrams of these tempting bites illustrate the book throughout. Snack time has never been this much fun! --Naomi Gesinger

From Booklist

America's love affair with fast food is once again addressed by Wilbur in his sequel to Top Secret Recipes. In response to readers, another 50 foods are dissected, probed, prodded, examined, and refashioned to create taste clones of such treats as Oreo cookies, M&M/Mars almond bar, Snapple ice tea, and McDonald's quarter pounder. Each recipe includes a brief history of the manufacturer and the specific foodstuff, as well as an engineering-like line drawing of the recipe's assembly. Simple directions are supported by the use of packaged or frozen food ingredients, such as pizza dough and canned kidney beans. At the beginning, the author addresses the low-fat versus junk-food controversy. Barbara Jacobs

Review

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. Friday's 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

Bought this for the Cinnabon recipe

Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2021

Verified Purchase

Shameless confession: Bought this cookbook solely for the Cinnabon recipe. Never made cinnamon rolls before; whipped these up for a New Year's Day morning treat. Excellent instructions, and yes they came out huge, fluffy, gooey and *exactly* like Cinnabon. The other recipes look like fun but I honestly haven't tried any others yet. The recipes themselves are laid out very well, complete with drawings. Great introduction, especially for anyone wondering why the heck someone would want to make their own fast food. Really fun book! I'm thinking Popeyes Chicken next...

Great easy to follow recipes that are typically very close if not spot on the originals.

Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2016

Verified Purchase

I absolutely love the recipes that Todd Wilbur does. I find most of the recipes to be very good clones, with some to be either spot on or even better than the originals. Additionally, I love the fact that almost all of the recipes use ingredients that MOST everyday consumers would have in their homes, instead of rare & exotic ingredients that cost insane amounts of money & are only available for 2 weeks out of the year... In specific regional locations (Anyone who is more than a novice cook knows what I'm talking about here). I have since purchased at least 6 of Todd Wilbur's books & although a few of the books have duplicate recipes, I am very happy to keep experimenting with these wonderful & easy to follow recipes.

Check the table of contents first!

Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2006

Verified Purchase

I LOVE this book simply because I've been trying to recreate popeye's fried chicken on my own and failed miserably! I checked the table of contents and found it was there and that alone was worth the $9 investment. I'm not going to make everything but its fun to see how you could make Mary Jane's. :D

Check the table of contents first, then if there's a recipe you would like, take a chance. Most times, its pretty good!

Oh and the chicken recipe? Its not exactly right but it's pretty darn close and makes really good spicy fried chicken!

Die Kochbücher aus der Tod Wilbur Reihe liebe ich. Man kann mit einfachen Zutaten all die guten Dinge nachkochen, die man von einem Amerika-Urlaub kennt.Die meisten Zutaten sind in deutschen Supermärkten zu bekommen, manche Dinge muss man ein bisschen suchen, aber man kann hier alles bekommen. Ich gebrauche das Kochbuch oft und gerne, und habe viele Rezepte ausprobiert. Alles ist auf Anhieb gelungen.
