Product Description

From Amazon.com

Todd Wilbur has baked, boiled, digested, fried, and tested--all in the name of duplicating some of America's favorite convenience foods. He now shares 41 of these naughty but nice gastronomical delights in Top Secret Recipes. If you've ever craved a McDonald's Big Mac at 3:00 A.M. on a Sunday morning, then Wilbur has just the recipe for satisfying your junk-food desires. Even better, no cordon-bleu expertise is needed for this particular clone--just simple frying and chopping skills! Simplicity is the key to all of Wilbur's replicated recipes--all are composed of rudimentary ingredients available at any store, needing only minimal preparation. These recipes are fun and fast--two dozen Snickers Bars in less than 10 minutes (plus cooling time), a delicious Orange Julius in less than 60 seconds (that's considerably quicker than waiting in line for the real thing)! These culinary creations are organized in alphabetical order by manufacturer or restaurant, and illustrated with simple pencil drawings. Top Secret Recipes is a chatty and informative guide to recreating the burgers, candy bars, and cookies of your strip-mall dreams. --Naomi Gesinger


From Library Journal

Sort of the junk-food version of Helen Witty and Elizabeth S. Colchie's Better Than Store-Bought ( LJ 5/15/79), this offers recipes for Hostess Twinkies, Cracker Jacks, Wendy's Chili, McDonald's Big Mac, and other such favorites. These are not, however, top-secret formulas cadged from the companies but Wilbur's own recipes, some more successful than others, along with architectural cross sections of such constructions as Egg McMuffins. A novelty item, but some cooks are sure to find it fun. Literary Guild selection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Todd Wilbur is KING!, Nov 19 2002
By Teenamarie Cacio "TM" (USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I made my own Twinkies and Reese's cups!! They were pretty darn close, that's good enough for me because everything was delicious!! (My hips aren't crazy about the book.) It's fun to impress people as well as make their mouths water when you tell them what you have accomplished. If you like to have fun in the kitchen, this book will not disappoint you. Then again, I do not know you. Enjoy!! :o)

3.0 out of 5 stars Too much hassle for a Twinkie Clone, Feb 19 2002
By A Customer
Some of the recipes in this book are easy to make and delicious--Mrs. Field's Cookies, Orange Julius, Dairy Queen Blizzard, Twix Bars, to name a few. But I balked when reading the "how-to's" of Homemade Twinkies. Who has time to roll tin foil around spice jars to use as a mold for the cake batter? Then the boring task of poking holes into each individual "Twinkie" and filling them up with whipped cream. I can't imagine wanting more than a couple Twinkies a year, anyway, and this recipe makes a whole bunch. However, this IS a fun book, and I imagine parents would have a great time whipping these treats up with their kids.

1.0 out of 5 stars Gloria Pitzer's Secret Recipes are simply better.
Unfortunately, the only secret of this book is that it's more of a "How to illustrate or draw food" than it is a recipe book. Read more
