My Review

I really enjoy cookbooks. Trying out new recipes that my family will love is always fun for me. Among my favorites are copycat recipes. This cookbook has many features you will appreciate:

-Gorgeous color photos that catch the eye.
-Simple, clear instructions with ingredients that are usually in my kitchen.
-Tips for creating your own copycat recipes.
-An easy-to-use index listing recipe names, ingredients, and the restaurants they come from.
-Delicious recipes I know my family will like such as Homemade Butterbeer, Pumpkin Spice Pancakes, Oriental Chicken Salad from Applebee's, and my favorite, Zuppa's Toscana soup. There are so many more I can’t wait to explore.

If you enjoy cookbooks, want to explore new dishes, or love the flavors of your favorite restaurants, this cookbook is a must-have for any cook or baker in the kitchen.

****Meet Authors- Favorite Family Recipes ****

We grew up in a loving home, filled with chaos, laughter and of course, good food. It’s the food, and the rituals surrounding that food, that inspired us nearly twenty years ago to create a space for all our family’s favorite recipes. And thus, Favorite Family Recipes was born. It’s been an incredible joy to share our family’s recipes with our readers.

We know that cooking for others is one of the greatest gifts you can give them. The time you invest in shopping, prep, cooking and cleanup is a lot, but it’s worth it. Delicious, homemade food is what brings everyone to the table for Sunday dinner, a weekend brunch, or a slice of pie on the front porch. These are the meaningful memories we strive to create with our own families and friends. We hope our recipes will inspire others to create the same experiences with their loved ones.
