Emily Walker reveals top ten tips
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Did you ever taste a dish and want to make it at home? It’s really easy to be a recipe copycat. Most times, the restaurant or café will use common ingredients. You know – the ones you have in your kitchen. Will it be an exact copy? Probably not – but it might be even better, plus it is your special dish. Look at recipes that are similar then do a flip-flop adding the spices, herbs, veggies, seed butters, nuts, flours, oils that you have on your shelf.
The truth is that copycat recipes can be very tasty and be very similar to restaurant recipes. Above all – have fun in the kitchen. Invite the family and make it a team event.

Old-Fashioned Sunday Pot Roast with Mashed Potatoes
GG copycat cooks roast in foil or slow cooker for Cracker Barrel’s Sunday Pot Roast.©
About this Recipe: This classic recipe continues to be a popular choice on restaurant menus. Cracker Barrel serves the beef with carrots and a side of mashed potatoes on the plate. If preparing this recipe, you might want to use a slow cooker or Insta Pot. We found that the easiest way to cook the beef was using an old-fashioned foil wrap, but it should be sealed securely.©©
