Many fantastic recipes, but if for nothing else get it for the big mac recipe

I made the big mac that is in the book and I have to say, it came out better than I've tasted at McDonald's. The only difference here is the book is an older print, so for secret sauce he list 1000 island dressing. Although this might satisfy some people it won't bring you close to the taste of what the original is like. I went to the Youtube.com page (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqVCk2oDpSE) & watched his video of making a big mac in which he makes the secret sauce from half cup mayo, and a teaspoon each of Sweet pickle relish, white vinegar, french dressing, a lil sugar, salt, pepper & minced onion. This burger not only eclipsed the original, but I wasn't left with the need to dash to the bathroom an hour or so after I ate it. This is mainly cause I used all fresh ingredients. I highly recommend this rather hard to find edition of this book. Pick up up today!!

Great - Especially if you're not sure which Todd Wilbur book to buy...

I wish I had known about this book when I first started to build my Todd Wilbur collection...I now have doubles of 1 of the books. This is great...it is actually 3 books in one, Top Secret Recipes, Even More Top Secret Recipes & Top Secret Restaurant Recipes. If you can find a copy, it's a handy resource and an economical way to start building your library if you are a fan of Todd Wilbur's recipes.

A Wonderful Resource!

This is a wonderful resource for those that would like to recreate their favorite restaurant foods at home! I love this cookbook and use it all the time!
