This review is from: Top Secret Recipes Treasury II: More Kitchen Clones of America's Favorite Brand-Name Foods ; With Illustrations by the Author (Hardcover)

This is a great book as long as you know exactly what you're getting. It's not a "Best of" of all of his books. What you're getting here is a 3-in-1 book including "Top Secret Recipes - Lite", "Top Secret Recipes - Low Fat" and the Top Secret Recipes Beverage Book. If you can find a copy and are interested in trying his lower fat versions of brand name foods, this is an economical way to try them without dishing out the money for 3 individual books. I have yet to try any of these recipes, but have all of his other books and have enjoyed every one of the recipes I've tried so far.

This is a neat book because you can have the taste of your favorite restaurant meals recreated at home. I have made several recipes from this series of books and am amazed that they do truly taste like the original stuff.

I absolutely adore Todd Wilbur's cookbooks. This is my second one and it does not disappoint. I have only had it a couple of weeks and have already cooked with it no less than ten times. Where else can you learn to cook a low-fat Big-Mac or Whopper, for Pete's sakes!?! His blueprint-type pictures of each recipe are hysterical, yet helpful, and he has helped make me a better cook. This one is triply exciting because there are three separate cookbooks in one. Thanks for the terrific recipes Todd!!! I will definitely buy more in the future and will look forward to trying them out with salivating taste buds!!!
