Chef Pablo’s Restaurant Recipes

Applebee’s™ has one of the best tasting onion soup restaurant recipes around. The combination of the sweet onions, the piping hot broth and the crunchy bread with melted cheese on top is pretty close to cooking genius.  If you can’t imagine a soup made up of onions, change your mindset and give this one a shot.  A soft flavor combined with the strands of melted cheese are heaven on earth.

One of the secrets to making a good tasting onion soup is how you cook the onions themselves.  Go slow and don’t rush it.  An onion is a root vegetable, which means it’s sugar content is very high.  Anytime you’re cooking something with sugar in it, you run the risk of making it bitter by burning the sugars.  Same holds true for onions.  Slowly cook these and don’t let them brown.  You’ll want them soft and translucent.

I’ve been offering Ron Douglas’ digital book “America’s Secret Recipes” on my restaurant recipes website for a few months now.  If you’ve visited other recipe websites, you’ve probably seen ads for the book and wondered if it’s of any value.  I decided it’s time I gave my honest review of the book.  The things I like, didn’t like and whether you should spend your hard earned money on it.

Many readers of this site have purchased the book and nobody has asked for a refund.  In fact, based on emails, all are very happy with the results. Here’s just one of many email comments:

Greetings:

I would like to thank you very much for the “America’s Secret Recipes” that I received in the mail a few days ago. I’m looking forward to trying out some of these recipes, especially the ‘Chili’s Southwestern egg rolls and ‘Hooter’s Buffalo Wings’. These always go over great for football games, especially the Super Bowl.

Thanks again for putting together this wonderful cook book of yours.

Honest Review of America’s Secret Recipes

This is the sauce Outback Steakhouse™ serves with their Grilled Shrimp on the Barbie as well as their Pan Seared Lump Crab Cakes.  But, don’t limit it to just those items.  That’s the beauty of making your own restaurant recipes, you can mix and match to create your own specialties. This goes very well with just about any type of seafood.

A rich and creamy sauce with just enough zip from the horseradish.  Make up plenty and store it in the refridgerator or share it with friends in the office.  If you’re planning on having it for dinner tonight, make this first so it can sit in the refridgerator before it’s time to eat.  This helps to really bring the flavors together nicely.
