The Best of the Top Secret Line - By: , 14 Jun 1999 
I love this book & have served some of the stuff at parties (Hooter's Chicken Wings, Planet Hollywood Crunch Chicken, Outback Coconut Shrimp, & Cheesecake Factory Pumpkin Cheesecake so far.) The recipes are relatively simple, fun to make, & delicious. I highly recommend this book to alll my friends.
Nothing could be finer than to cook in my own diner . . . - By: , 04 May 1999 Superb!! I have successfully made many of my family's fav's & the only change I've made to the recipes is to quadruple the ingredients in order to satisfy the teeming hungry ones. It gives me a great deal of pride in knowing that I can make it just like the restaurantuerw! And, the cravings are satisfied at half the cost!!
CONSIDER PEOPLE OVERSEAS - REMOTE AREA - By: , 05 Mar 1999 
I lived in Australia, Singapore & Malaysia - but now I've to go back to Indonesia. Having set up a business in a rural area, it's so difficult to get "ready made foodstuff" like Mayonese, or other instant sauce. Transportation is bad, & I reallly creave for those food I used to eat overseas. I just hope Todd will try to explain more how to make those 'instant stuff' from scratch! How to make a nice mayonese, mustard, or other necessary sauce. Replacement flour, or butter. Eventhough I got this book, there are lotsa stuffs I can't cook unless I fly to get those ingredients! Please...please tell us more!
My daughter who could not cook now loves cooking. - By: , 27 Jan 1999 The receipes are well written & the thought of preparing "restaurant" items has ignited in my oldest (19 yrs) daughter's desire to cook. She was raised with my wife waiting on her hand & foot. I was afraid that she would starve when she left home. I have purchased two of the other books.
