Left wanting some submitted by jrwren on August 18, 2014, 6:37pm Clones of America's Favorite Brand-Name foods translates to, clones of all of the popular fast-food burgers and clones of the sweetest sweets like DQ Blizzard, Snickers bars, and Reese's cups. I'm a from-scratch cook. While I recognize that any ordered instructions does constitute a recipe, using pre made carmel and instructing me to unwrap them is not helpful. Using Bisquick in a recipe is not helpful. I suppose I could google how to make my own bisquick knock off mix. This book was published in 1993. There was no google. I'm disappointed.

Lots of burgers here submitted by willow on August 19, 2014, 2:00pm Many, many fast food sandwiches here, with some other sweets like Mrs Fields cookies. One burger started to sound like another, and it wasn't clear to me what made any of them particularly appealing as homemade fare.

Fast Nostalgia submitted by BookNerd on July 16, 2016, 9:37pm Favorite fast food joints from the early 90s star in this book. If you're trying to calm a craving at home for nostalgic burgers, shakes, candy bars and cookies, this is your manual. Meant to clone the taste and texture of the assembly line foods, this does not try to clean them up from a nutritional standpoint.
