Have you ever wanted to be able to cook food in the style of your favorite restaurants when at home? Many people have.
For the most part, I believe that it is not because they want to avoid going to a restaurant, but it is simply that they would like to be able liven up their home menu and eat their favorite foods on those occasions when dining out in a restaurant is simply not possible or practical.
While it might not be particularly good for my waistline or my bank balance, I would love to be able go to a restaurant every single night.
I am sure that many people feel the same way.
However, going to a restaurant every day, is neither affordable, nor, especially if you have a family, practical.
Therefore the next best thing is to prepare your favorite restaurant-style dishes at home.
Of course, the difficulty is knowing how to prepare and cook a restaurant-style dish.
The exact recipes used by popular restaurants are not widely known, and are, in many cases, kept secret by the restaurant's owners.
However, while you may not able to exactly duplicate a restaurant dish, you might be able to achieve something close - with the help of a "copy cat recipe cookbook".
Such cookbooks contain recipes in the style of leading restaurants.
While, as already mentioned, the recipes aren't exact duplicates, they can still be very tasty.
You never know, you might even find that sometimes prefer your homemade alternatives!
