Hungry and budget minded people are noticing a boost in the popularity of cooking CopyKat Recipes on both sides of the ocean. Although cooking and preparing food is an age old skill that’s been passed down through generations of people, the recent fashion for celebrity chefs has led to an increase in the amount of people who cook and prepare food. Most of the time, enjoying a good restaurant quality meal has meant going out to eat and spending a bunch of money.

Also as many cook books and recipe books being published and available in retail outlets and television programmes and dvds being shown, the internet is a very valuable resources for chefs of any standard and also the casual and occasional cook. Many celebrity chefs and restaurants have put their names and signatures on meals and too products used in cooking.

Getting copykat recipes for almost any type of food, is not hard if you know the right places to look.

As well as the copy cat recipes published on websites, it is also possible to purchase the cook books and recipe books mentioned research new books and also second hand books for cheaper than the new version. These books can be ordered, dispatched and gotten within 24 hours from some sites and this has helped see a big surge in online sales. E-Bay is another very useful resource for picking up recipe books, cookery books and items needed for cookery. Often very good condition, second hand and new items can be found on EBay. The only thing you need to watch out for with buying actual cookbooks and recipe ebooks is they can be expensive and can become outdated. Once outdated, there’s no way to update or improve them.

In addition to these online book stores and recipe websites which can help chefs at all levels and culinary standards to achieve great results you also have to understand that when you can get a kopykat recipe and are able to cook it at home, you don’t need to be some professional chef or culinary student. There are many forums online which are used by people who have great knowledge and experience in cooking and food preparation. They can offer up answers to specific questions or even just help with general cooking tips and ideas. These places allow people to compare and discuss results they have achieved when cooking as well as giving tips and advice. As a forum user, though, you have to understand that you aren’t quite sure of the level of skill or knowledge the people your are talking with actually have. Of course, if someone’s offering you a free recipe listed in there forum, then I’m sure you don’t mind copying it and trying it out. Still, if you can find a site that seems established and trustworthy and that offers a great deal on hundreds, if not thousands of recipes, you should pay close attention. That’s when a special copycat restaurant recipe site like Recipe-Robot.com comes in oh so handy!

The words, “recipe apple pie“, brings back 1,430,000 search results.

Just in Google! Yahoo! brought back 17,800,000 results, and msn brought back 10,200,000. And 6 of the first 10 results from each search engine were different. At this point, I’m already thinking that an internet search may not be the best way to find the best recipe for apple pie.

If you love apple pie as much as I do, you’ve spent some time looking for the best recipe. And how do you know it’s perfect? You try it, of course.

As in: you use the recipe to bake an apple pie, then eat it and see what you think. So, if you’re searching using the phrase above, you’d need to bake 22 apple pies (which would take over 3 weeks, even if you only baked one a day) just to get through the first page of search results on the top 3 search engines.

I thought there had to be a better way.

So I went back to my search results and, to maximize my chances for success, I only counted recipes from food sites that made it into the first 2 pages of results (I realize this is an arbitrary cut off point, but there are millions of results, I’m only one person, and only so many days when apples are in season). That meant I’d only need to try 14 different recipes.

That’s still too many.

So I narrowed it down even more: the first decision was the crust – purchased or handmade? I wanted a handmade crust, so I looked to see if it called for lard, shortening or butter. I avoid hydrogenated fats and had no lard, so butter it was. That helped eliminate some results.

Now I was down to 9 recipes (which would still take more than a week, if I baked a pie a day), and I still wasn’t sure what kind of apples to use, what kind of extracts, what spices, how much sugar, etc… Who ever would have guessed there were so many decisions to make to pick the best recipe for apple pie? (But then who ever would have guessed that a search for “recipe apple pie” would return 29,430,000 results?)

At this point, I started thinking, “I’d gladly pay somebody to do this for me.”

I baked for a week (and I think I used almost that I had the perfect recipe yet. Then I ran across a little one page site that sells a downloadable cookbook called “Cooking with Apples“. The author said she’d been looking for the perfect apple pie recipe for years, and had collected a bunch of them (along with like 90 more apple recipes) and put them together into this cookbook. I decided to give it a try.

Boy, was I glad I did; there are 7 different apple pie recipes in the book, and every one I’ve tried is really good! (I’m not a big fan of sugarless pies, so I haven’t tried that one yet, and probably won’t.) In case you’re curious: my favorite used Honey Crisp and Granny Smith apples, sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon and allspice, lemon juice and lemon zest, almond and vanilla extract at about a 3:1 ratio, and had no flour or tapioca added to the filling.
