Note from the Editor

Dear Cooking Enthusiast,


Nearly every one of us has gone to a restaurant and had a meal that was so good that we wanted to learn how to make that recipe at home. The problem is, famous restaurant recipes are tough to find because restaurants can be very protective of their most popular recipes.

Luckily, many talented home cooks out there spend hours playing around in the kitchen to try and create copycat versions of those famous top secret recipes. And, while the copycat recipes may not be exact replicas of those famous restaurant recipes, they are so close that you will never know the difference.

So, here at RecipeLion, we have put together our third collection of the best copycat recipes so that other home cooks could have the joy of cooking a top secret recipe in their own home.

It is important to note that none of these copycat recipes are the actual copyright protected top secret recipes. Instead, they are copycat recipes that do their best to taste as close as possible to the famous recipes.

Sincerely,


The Editors of RecipeLion
