Cooking Recipes Italian Foods

May 14th, 2009 by admin



cooking recipes italian foods
Any copycat recipes from famous restaurants?

I live in Italy and there is a lot of Italian food available (duh) but not much else. It’s great but every night after 10 years is a lot of pasta LOL

I go crazy without variety and cook a lot of ethnic food at home, from Afghan to Thai, and Mexican on a weekly basis.

But I’d like to find recipes for famous chain foods from the US so I can try a taste of something I miss.

Any ideas?

Thanks :-)
Wow, all of you are so helpful how do I pick a best answer?????

Here are two sites that specialize in cloned recipes from restaurants. Many of them are available for free, but some you may have to buy. I have tried several with mixed results, but you can judge for yourself. Sign up for the weekly recipe service (free) and you can check out new recipes weekly.
