Welcome to Booksie's Blog! I write reviews of what I've read, some of which were books sent by publishers or authors. If you would like for me to read and review your book, please contact me. I'd love to have the chance to review for you although I don't usually read to deadlines. My email address is skirkland@triad.rr.com I can't accept everything but I do read and review everything I accept. I average about 10-12 reviews a month. I tend to favor physical books over ebooks for review.

Top Secret Recipes Unlocked by Todd Wilbur
For those readers whose New Year's Resolution is to save money this year, Todd Wilbur's new cookbook, Top Secret Recipes Unlocked, is a godsend. The cookbook gives the average person the tools to recreate their favorite restaurant offerings at home, allowing them to save money and impress those they are cooking for.
The cookbook is broken down by restaurants. Some of the restaurants represented include Panera Bread, Boston Market, Burger King, Carnegie Deli, Chipotle Mexican Grill, Outback, KFC, Starbucks, Taco Bell and even Krispy Kreme Doughnuts. Each recipe is given a page, with a paragraph preceding it that gives any tips that let the chef overcome any challenges. Many recipes are followed by a section called Tidbits that give further tips and things to consider. The recipes are clearly written and easy to follow.
This book is recommended for all readers, especially those who are cooks. Living in the hometown of Krispy Kreme doughnuts, I'm not sure anyone else can duplicate those heavenly treats, but most of the recipes are well within the expertise of the average person. Using these recipes is a great way to impress friends invited over for a meal.
This sounds great. I'm all for making takeout food at home!
