Five Tips to Get Your Favorite Restaurant Recipes

Five Tips to Get Your Favorite Restaurant Recipes
By Lucy Becker

You can make the same food that your favorite restaurant makes - at home!!

Have you ever wished you could make the same delicious food that you buy at Applebees or Chillis or any of your other favorite restaurants like Chris Steaks and IHOP and Outback Steakhouse. There are ways you can get the same thing to eat at home and probably pay less.

That same delicious meal that you eat at your favorite restaurant can be duplicated by trying a few of these different ideas.

1. Sometimes you can buy the recipe from the restaurant off their website or by asking the waiter for a copy of the recipe. Some things aren't as complicated as we first think they are. That delicious food might just be a few unique ingredients or cooked a certain temperature. Just asking can sometimes get you the recipe. Or just looking or asking on the internet. Some chefs are flattered to have people ask for their recipes.
2. Another way to get the same delicious food that you eat at Applebees or Chillis or other restaurants is to reverse engineer it. If you get take out food and take it home you can make a game out of guessing what is in the food. Some people are really good at figuring out tastes. If you are one of these people or know one of these people, you can probably figure out how to cook the same food this way. Often you can get hints from your waitress by asking what is in it because you or someone in your family has food allergies.

The menu might give you most of the ingredients when you are ordering the food. Write down what you read on the menu or what the waitress says is in the food. Writing down everything you find out about it is a good idea while the delicious food is still on your mind. Taking a photo of it with your camera when you are served is also a good idea. We often forget some of the main ingredients or the look of it before we get around to trying to make it at home.

If you eat at the restaurant several weeks in a row and get to know the waitress, you may be able to prove that you love this item and they may be prone to help you figure out what is in it.

3. Sometimes you can't get the recipe easily so you may have to ask other customers or your friends and relatives who eat at this same restaurant how they think the food is made. Flattering the waitress or chef by telling them how good the food is will usually get you some of the ideas of how to make it.

4. Also some chefs actually have cooking classes. The chef will charge for the class and cook a meal which everyone will have the chance to taste. You could give the chef ideas for what things you would want him/her to cook. Once again, it is important to take notes because many of the key tips are not written on any handouts.

5. Some restaurants sell their specialties in grocery stores, like Mo's clam chowder - Ivar's clam chowder - Marie Calendar's pies. Keep your eyes open for this food.

Pizza Uno's Deep Pan Chicago Style Pizza Recipe

In 1943, when Ike Sewell opened a restaurant at the corner of Ohio Street and Wabash Avenue in Chicago, Americans ate pizza primarily as a snack. Ike figured that if you combined some of Italy's old, authentic recipes with impressive quantities of the finest meats, fresh cheeses, ripe vegetables and flavorful spices, pizza would become a hearty meal. It was the start of an American tradition - the Chicago Deep Dish Pizza. Ike's Original Deep Dish Pizza has been imitated many times, but never quite duplicated.

In the mid-1990s, Uno® broadened its concept to encompass favorite dishes that diners expected from a high quality, full-service restaurant. To expand the menu and meet increasing customer expectations, Uno completed a multi-million dollar kitchen upgrade in its restaurants, installing sauté stations, grills and fryers, and invested heavily in the training of its front and back of the house staff.

The new Uno Chicago Grill locations are larger and feature a "Chicago warehouse" look that creates an inviting dining environment. These new prototype restaurants continue to generate above-average sales volumes.

Chicken (Murg) Dum Biryani Recipe

Chicken Dum biryani(biriyani) though being elaborate in preparing, is a sinfully tasty and very well savored recipe. It is found in all parts of India, Pakistan, Afganistan and other countries and forms an integral part of their cuisine. This recipe here is the popular Hyderabadi chicken biryani.

The word Biryani is derived from the Persian word berya(n) which means "roasted" or "fried". Legend has it that a Nawab of Punjab wore a matching turban for each variety of biryani. The Nizam's kitchen boasted of 49 kinds, which included biryani made from fish, quail, shrimp, deer and hare. Now lets get started!

Chicken Dum Biryani Ingredients:

• Chicken - 1k.g/2.2lb
• Basmati Rice - 1k.g/2.2lb
• Onions - 6 medium sized (long thinly sliced)
• Tomato - 6 medium sized (chopped)
• Ginger Garlic paste - 1 cup or 6-8 tablespoons
• Mint (Pudina) - 1 bunch
• Coriander (Cilantro) - 1/2 bunch
• Green Chili - 6 nos (Whole)
• Lemon - 1 medium sized
• Red Chili powder - 1 1/2 tablespoon
• Oil - 250ml
• Curd or yogurt - 1 to 1 1/2 cup
• Turmeric powder - 1/4 teaspoon
• Bay leaves (Biryani leaf) - 1
• Cinnamon (Patta) - 6 nos
• Cloves (Lavang) - 8 nos
• Cardamom (Elaichi) - 4 nos
• Salt - 3 tablespoons (Powdered) or 2 handful (rock salt)

Preparation Time:30 minutes
Cooking Time:1 1/2 hours
Servings:6-8 people

Cooking Method for Chicken Dum Biryani:
Biryani Masala or Gravy:
1. In a heavy bottomed deep pan, heat the oil on medium heat.
2. Add bay leaves, 3 cinnamon, 4 cloves, 2 cardamom, 6 chillies and onions.
3. Fry the onions until golden brown.
4. Add ginger-garlic paste and fry until the raw pungent smell of the paste leaves.
5. Keep aside a hand full of Mint and add the rest to the pan. At this stage add the coriander as well. Fry for 5-10 minutes until you get a nice aroma.
6. Now add the chicken and mix the content of the pan thoroughly.
7. Add turmeric powder and 1 1/2 tablespoon of salt. Mix well and cook for 5 minutes.
8. Add tomatoes to the pan and cook until it gets soft and mushy.
6. Now is the time for curd (yogurt) and chili powder.
7. Cover the pan with a lid, reduce the heat and cook for 10-15 minutes until you see some oil floating on the top.
8. At this stage remove the pan from the heat.
9. Now empty nearly 3/4 of the pan contents into a separate container and set it aside.

Rice Preparation:
1. Soak the basmati rice in cold water for 15 minutes.
2. Meanwhile take a large container with sufficient water. Bring it to boil.
3. When boiling add the remaining mint, cloves, cinnamon and cardamom.
4. Now drain all the water from the soaked rice and add it to the container. Add 1 1/2 tablespoon salt.
5. Cook the rice until it is 3/4 done.
6. Now take the container off the heat and drain the remaining water from the rice.

Layering the Biryani and Dum cooking
In the same pan where you had 1/4 of the biryani gravy, add a layer of cooked rice. Then add another layer of the biryani gravy (that was keep aside in a seperate container) and top it with rice. Repeat until all the rice and biryani gravy is layered. Also squeeze or add a little bit of lemon juice on every layer during the layering process.

'Dum' cooking is a traditional method of slow-cooking, normally on a bed of coal with pots over them, sealed with kneaded flour so that no heat escapes it. Sometimes coal is spread out on the pot lid to distribute heat evenly.

To get the same effect as the traditional method of dum cooking, take a right fitting lid for the vessel, cover and seal the lid with heavy object. The idea is to make a air tight seal. Alternatively you can knead the wheat flour and use that to seal the lid to the vessel. Now put the the vessel on low heat and cook for approximately 15-20 minutes.

That's it! Spicy hot Hyderabadi Chicken Dum Biryani is now ready to be served and enjoyed.

• Meat and fish: All kinds of red and white meat and fish provides protein, vitamins (only with raw serving) and fat. Liver is a good source of vitamin A (again, only raw) but should not exceede 10% of a cats diet as too much vitamin A can be dangerous for your cat.
• Eggs: Eggs are very rich in Protein, Carbs, fats and many Vitamins. They are a good and well balanced food, but it is advised to avoid raw eggs, or at least not serve raw eggs more than once a week, as raw eggs contain harmful enzymes.
  
• Milk and Cheese: Dairy products are high in Protein as well as fats and calcium. Whole milk should not be given in large quantities and not very frequently because the lactose that it contains may give your cat diarrhea. But please note that cheese does not contain lactose and so can be safely given in small cat bite size pieces.
• Vegetables: are a good source of vitamins in cat food, it will add some variety to it, and if you know how to mix it well, it will taste very good to your cat.
• Grains: Barley, wheat germ, oats, and rice are important for many vitamins and minerals. They are safe for cats even if they eat large quantities, unless your cat has an allergy or kidneys problems, then you will have to see your vet, and most likely you will have to cut grains from your cat's diet.

Chicken heads cat meal

I just don't understand why people don't feed chiken heads to their cats, if I were given a dollar evertime I tell somebody that they cat feed their cats chicken heads I'd become a rich man!
Chiken heads are a very cheap cat food substitute, depending on where you live you can get them for free or very cheap, you will only have to boil them a while, then cool them down, and break them into small pieces for your cat, he will love it.
Here in Morocco just almost everybody only feeds chicken heads to their cats + kitchen left overs, everyday and over and over, and no cats ever get ill at all, it is for sure not a so diversified diet but it may serve you as a proof that its not bad idea to do that, .. if you have questions regarding that you can post them here as a comment.

Homemade allergy free cat food

For this question I will choose to republish the best found answer in yahoo answers:

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

Most veterinary products are expensive, but if you look on the ingredient label you'll see that many still have corn, byproducts and such. The cause for pet allergens are the carbohydrates which serve no nutritional value for cats since they are obligate carnivores. All the pet foods sold on the common market contain byproducts, corn.

There are many higher quality cat foods on the market which you can purchase from small pet stores (not like the big pet stores such as Petsmart or Petco). These foods have none of the corn, corn meal or byproducts that causes allergies in cats. Please read this article and maybe this will help you understand why - http://www.preciouspets.org/truth.htm

Anyway, my girl is horribly allergic to nearly all commercially sold pet foods because of corn or corn meal. I tried some of the premium foods that has worked for her and since then she hasn't one allergic reaction. I know have stayed with Innova EVO. It is expensive, but of higher quality and my cat just loves it. They have turkey, chicken, lamb, venison, etc.

All the vet foods contain corn and byproducts and these are the cause for the allergens. Vets only get one semester of nutrition studies for all animals not just one particular animal so they do not have enough or adequate information on nutrition information. I don't want to diss on a vet, because I trust mine, but he was willing to admit this fact to me.

Note: you still can choose recipes from here that are low in carbs and grains in general!

Baskin Robbins Ice Cream Cake Recipe

Baskin Robbins Ice Cream Cake

Ingredients:

Cake

• 1 box white cake mix
• 1 1/4 cups water
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 3 egg whites
• 1/2-gallon box pralines and cream ice cream
• 4 cups (2 pints) vanilla ice cream
• 1 12-ounce container white frosting

Optional

• colored frosting
• A sharp bread knife makes box slicing easy

Instructions:

Ice cream on top of the cake, and all the trimming.

1. Make your cake following the directions on the box. If you are making the white cake you will likely blend the cake mix with water, oil, and 3 eggs. Pour the batter into a greased 9 x 13-inch baking pan and bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes. This will make a thin cake for our bottom layer. When cake is done, let it cool to room temperature.
2. When the cake has cooled, carefully remove it from the pan and place it on a wax paper-covered cookie sheet, or a platter or tray that will fit into your freezer.
3. Use a sharp serrated knife (a bread knife works great) to slice the ice cream lengthwise through the middle, box and all, so that you have two 2-inch thick sheets of ice cream. Peel the cardboard off the ice cream and lay the halves next to each other on the cake. Slice the edges of the cake all the way around so that the cake is the same size as the ice cream on top. Work quickly so that the ice cream doesn't melt. When the cake has been trimmed, place it into the freezer for an hour or two.
   
4. When you are ready to frost the cake, take the two pints (4 cups) of vanilla ice cream out of the freezer for 20 to 30 minutes to soften. Sitr the ice cream so that it is smooth, like frosting. Use a frosting knife or spatula to coat your cake with about 2 cups of ice cream. Cover the entire surface thoroughly so that you cannot see any of the cake or ice cream underneath. Pop the cake into the freezer for an hour or so to set up.
5. When the cake has set, fill a pastry bag (with a fancy tip) with white frosting to decorate all around the top edge of the cake. Also decorate around the bottom of the cake. Use colored frosting and different tips to add inspired artistic flair and writing on the cake, as needed. Cover the cake with plastic wrap and keep it in your freezer until party time.
6. When you are ready to serve the cake, leave it out for 10 minutes before slicing. Cut the cake with a sharp knife that has been held under hot water.
7. Makes 1 large cake (16 - 20 servings).
   

Tidbits

You may wish to use another flavor cake mix such as chocolate or devil's food for this dessert - even low-fat cake mix works. It's up to you. Just follow the directions on the box for making the cake in a 9 x 13-inch baking pan. You can also use any flavor of ice cream. Just be sure to get it in a box.

Campbell's Vegetable Beef Soup Recipe

Company Profile

Campbell's was founded in 1869 by Joseph A. Campbell and Abraham Anderson, an icebox manufacturer. The company was originally called the "Joseph A. Campbell Preserve Company" and produced canned tomatoes, vegetables, jellies, soups, condiments, and minced meats.

By 1896, Anderson left the partnership, leaving Campbell to reorganize and form a new company, Joseph Campbell & Co. In 1897, a nephew of one of the new Campbell partners, Dr. John T. Dorrance, began working for the company at a wage of $7.50 a week. Dorrance, a gifted chemist with degrees from MIT and Göttingen University, Germany, developed a commercially viable method for condensing soup by halving the quantity of its heaviest ingredient: water.[

Soup was not a popular staple in the American diet at the turn of the 20th century, but it was in Europe. However, Dorrance's condensed soups quickly became successful among the public for their convenience and their price, 10 cents a can.The product competed at the Paris Exposition in 1900 and was awarded a gold medal, an image of which still appears on the label.

In 1898, Herberton Williams, a Campbell's executive, convinced the company to adopt a cherry red and bright white color scheme, because he was taken by the crisp colors of the Cornell University football team's uniforms. To this day, the layout of the can, with its red and white design and the metallic gold medal seal from the 1900 Paris Exhibition, has changed very little.

Carl's Jr. Santa Fe Chicken Recipe

Carl N. Karcher was born January 16, 1917 in Upper Sandusky, Ohio. His formal schooling lasted through the eighth grade, when he left school to assist his parents on the family farm.

As a young man, Carl made the decision to move from Ohio to Anaheim, California. He worked 12-hour days, six days a week, at his uncle's feed and seed store for $18 per week. In August, 1938, he went home to Ohio until a new opportunity arose.

The following year, Carl returned to California and was hired as a bread wrapper for Armstrong Bakery in Los Angeles, quickly earning a promotion to a sales and delivery position. He married Margaret Heinz on November 30, 1939 — a marriage that endured for more than 66 years, and yielded a closeknit family of 12 children, 51 grandchildren and 45 great-grandchildren.

1941 was the year that changed Carl's life, from a career standpoint. He and Margaret purchased a hot dog cart on July 17, 1941 for $326 ($15 cash and $311 borrowed on his 1941 Plymouth Super Deluxe). The first day's sales totaled $14.75. Business grew, and on January 16, 1945, Carl opened Carl's Drive-In Barbecue in Anaheim, Calif. The first Carl's Jr. restaurants opened in 1956.

Today, the business that began with that first hot dog cart has grown to include more than 3,000 restaurants, and 30,000 employees worldwide. CKE Restaurants, Inc., through its subsidiaries, had a total of 3,036 franchised or company-operated restaurants in 43 states and in 13 countries, including 1,121 Carl's Jr.^® restaurants, 1,915 Hardee's^® restaurants.

Carl's Jr. Santa Fe Chicken Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
• 1 cup teriyaki marinade (Lawry's is best)
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon curry powder
• 1 pinch salt
• 4 whole-wheat hamburger buns
• 4 lettuce leaves
• 1 can mild green chili peppers - (4 oz) -- drained
• 4 slices American cheese
  

Instructions:

1. Marinate the chicken in the teriayki marinade in a shallow bowl for 30 minutes.
2. Preheat a clean barbecue to medium grilling heat. Prepare the sauce in a small bowl by mixing the mayonnaise with the paprika, cayenne pepper, curry powder, and salt.
3. Grill the chicken for 5 to 8 minutes per side, or until done.
4. Brown the faces of each bun in a hot frying pan. Spread a tablespoon of sauce on the faces of each bun, top and bottom. On each bottom bun place a lettuce leaf, then a green chili pepper. You want the pepper to spread over most of the lettuce. To do this, slice the pepper down the middle and spread it open so that it covers more territory. When sliced open like this, some peppers are big enough for 2 sandwiches. Some are much smaller and enough for only one sandwich.
5. Place one chicken breast half on each of the sandwiches, on top of the chili pepper. Place a slice of American cheese on the chicken. Top it all off with the top bun.
   

This recipe yields 4 sandwiches.
