THE EVERYTHING RESTAURANT RECIPES COOKBOOK
Dear Reader,
Trying to create your favorite restaurant foods at home can be fun and save you a lot of money in these tough economic times. Most of us cannot afford to eat out as much as we used to, so I've been searching for ways to make foods that I enjoy the most at home and share them with you. I live in a town with no stoplights or drive-thru windows, so fast food is not readily available to me. When I get hungry for a particular type of food, my only option is to go to the grocery store and figure out what I need to make it at home. That has been the inspiration for this book; the recipes are arranged according to food cravings. If you are in the mood for Italian, you can find popular dishes on the menu at Olive Garden, Romano's Macaroni Grill, and Buca di Beppo. Want something from your favorite bar and grill? There is a nice selection of recipes from Applebee's, Chili's, and T.G.I. Friday's. Don't forget dessert. We often skip it when dining out, but now you can have your cake and eat it, too! Hope you enjoy exploring these recipes and make some great restaurant meals at home for your family and friends.

Introduction
AMERICAN FAMILIES LOVE TO go out to eat at their favorite restaurants; however, surveys have shown that people are spending less money than ever at restaurants due to budget restrictions and a declining economy. If you are one of those people, why not surprise your family and friends with their favorite restaurant dish by making it at home in your own kitchen?
This book will pay for itself the first time you use it because you can cook at home for a fraction of the cost of dining out. You will find step-by-step instructions for all those amazing dishes that draw people into restaurants, and you will be sure that the food was cooked under hygienic conditions since you will be making it yourself.
