Your favorite top restaurant copycat recipes by Oliver Wild Chili
Table of contents  where recipes are in alpha order.
Recipes are copies from another location as they are in picture format. You can increase the size of them but can't target or highlight anything on them.
Recipes have a title and list of ingredients are included and you should be able to substitute for your healthier dietary needs: low sodium, low fat, low sugar and fresh vs. canned items.
Directions are given but there are NO servings, NO pictures, NO nutritional information.
The way the recipes are shown does not allow you to figure out, some of them, which restaurant they are made from.
Reese's peanut butter cups and cracker jacks.  I think they should've combined the ones from the same restaurant together in a chapter to themselves.
Very difficult to keep clicking on digital page and then having to enlarge that by hand. you can't just scroll through the book if you want to read the pages.
