Review:

Praise for Todd Wilbur #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

"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
