Restaurant Favorites, Easy to Make, Nothing Revolutionary
America's Most Wanted Recipes Kids' Menu is a fun and easy cookbook for beginner cooks. The recipes are all based off of foodie favorites from various restaurants including Applebee's, California Pizza Kitchen, Boston Market, Joe's Crab Shack, Starbucks, and Panera, just to name a few. Most of the recipes use whole ingredients, although there are a handful of recipes which require packaged mixes such a cornbread mix, Bisquick, cake mix, seasoning mixes, and bottle dressings/sauces. While these recipes are healthier than most restaurant recipes, they are by no means healthy for you. As an example, many of the desserts require a stick of butter and well over a cup of sugar, and plenty of the recipes require deep frying. But that's the beauty of restaurant food - these are definitely treat type recipes and nothing I would make on a regular basis. On the upside, many of the recipes can be adjusted to fit your level of saltiness and sweetness. The book is laid out so everything is organized according to restaurant. I really liked that format since I have a good idea of what I want to eat based on restaurant. There are a small number of duplicate recipes - the chocolate chip cookies is a prime example - but it's only because there are different variations. The book is devoid of any type of photograph or illustrations, so if you were hoping for a side by side comparison of restaurant vs homemade items, you may be a little disappointed. As for the recipes themselves - they're pretty good. Of the recipes I tested out, they all taste good, although definitely not exactly as the restaurant version (probably because the restaurants have their own secret ingredients). There are a few recipes I would leave for the restaurant to make (Krispie Kremes are cheap to buy and so melt in your mouth good...unless you live far away from one, I would just buy them), a few I would definitely make myself (Jamba Juice, anyone?). If you're looking for a fun family cookbook, this is one to consider.
