Ever wonder how Starbucks makes their Pumpkin Spice Steamers? Or what's the secret behind Olive Garden's Zuppa Toscana? Echo, Elise, Emily, and Erica—the four sisters who comprise the culinary social media brand Favorite Family Recipes—have some answers. With their latest cookbook, they provide 101 recipes for everything from drinks and appetizers to side dishes and desserts, inspired by their counterparts at establishments such as White Castle (sliders) and McDonalds (Egg McMuffin), as well as companies including Hershey (Reese's Peanut Butter Cups) and McKee Food Services (Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pies). Recipes range from the ridiculously easy (Red Robin's two-ingredient Campfire Sauce) to the more time- and labor-intensive (Outback Steakhouse's Alice Springs chicken). Most recipes are pulled from widely recognizable sources, but there are a few dishes from dining establishments particular to the western United States (the Stone Lizard; Liberty Market; Fork) in the mix as well. VERDICT Todd Wilbur pioneered corporate recipe-duplication with his Top Secret Recipe cookbooks back in the 1990s. Home cooks with a hankering for their favorite items from grocery store aisles, fast-food chains, and more will appreciate this fun, friendly new take on the subject.—John Charles
