He has honed his clones to perfection in his latest book, Even More Top Secret Recipes: More Amazing Kitchen Clones of America's Favorite Brand-Name Foods.
The bestselling author of six previous Top Secret books, Wilbur's trademark blueprint drawings and simple recipes make it easy to recreate your favorite brand names at home. Over the years, this former television investigative reporter has resorted to spy tactics, carted home leftovers, and recruited family and friends to taste-test recipes. In fact, Wilbur has found the following to be his most sought-after clones:
- KFC Extra Crispy Chicken
- Mrs. Field's Cookies
- Red Lobster Garlic Cheese Biscuits
- Auntie Anne's Pretzels
- KFC Cole Slaw
- Doubletree Hotel Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Krispy Kreme Donuts
Armed with his domestic detective tips, Wilbur's newest book gives readers the skinny on what makes Newman's Own Creamy Caesar Dressing stay so creamy, and what makes KFC's Extra Crispy Chicken so darn good. Served up with Wilbur's "special sauce" of spunk and wit, Even More Top Secret Recipes is an essential cookbook for anyone who wants to duplicate these and other treasured recipes of American culture.
