[.ca] Top Secret Recipes Sodas Smoothies Spirits And Shakes (ISBN 0452283183)

From Amazon.com:
Todd Wilbur has made a career out of his Top Secret Recipes series, dissecting popular recipes from America's favorite restaurant chains and presenting the results to eager home cooks. Top Secret Recipes: Sodas, Smoothies, Spirits, and Shakes continues the theme, offering homemade approximation recipes to satisfy the craving and expectations of the thirsty reader looking for a brand-name fix. Wilbur presents a host of potables to create at home, including sodas such as 7-Up and A & W root beer, brand mixtures such as Orange Julius, and even signature adult drinks from a variety of restaurant chains including Chili's, Hard Rock Cafe, and Red Lobster. But Wilbur offers more than just the genetic code to these concoctions: he provides interesting anecdotes on the origin of the beverages as well as humorous, but necessary, warnings about the various alcohol-infused drinks included. He's even dedicated a chapter to the home version of popular (and expensive) spirits such as Bailey's Irish Cream and Grand Marnier. For convenience and economy, this addition to the Top Secret collection offers a truly satisfying alternative, saving readers a trip to Starbucks for that addictive Frappuccino. --Teresa Simanton

yummy:
I love this book! Almost all of the recipes I WILL use! I have tried a few and they came out so well. You won't regret buying this book if you love restraunt drinks. The variety of drinks is so great... shakes, refreshing drinks, cocktails, and making your own liquers. yummy!!

Todd has another hit!:
I bought this book based on the fact that I LOVE all of the Top Secret Recipe books published and this one has to be in the top 3. Everything I've tried, my family and I have loved. One of my personal favorites is the \oblended coffee drink\c. However, the other drinks are just as good. If you are a Top Secret Recipe fan, this is a must have or even if you are just looking for a new recipe book for beverages, try this one. I know you won't regret it. :)

Fun Book. But...:
I saw this new book and got it mainly for the cool drink recipes that are in it. We tried several of them at home, but they did not quite taste like the drinks that we get at our local juice store. Maybe it's the ingrediants? Otherwise, the book was interesting.
