Looking for restaurant recipes you can replicate? We got you

 If you look at my YouTube watch history, my top searches include variations of the terms “homemade *restaurant name* recipe.” Quarantine has turned me into a kitchen busybody, and it might have done the same to you. We’ve got recipes here and there for you to try—we’ve even made the Instagram series Lunch Table, Mixer and Comfort Kitchen for this, you know. 

But as my watch history shows, there will still be that persistent craving for meals that we used to enjoy from our favorite restaurants and bakeries on some days. For this, we’ve collected all the authentic restaurant recipes we’ve discovered during quarantine. Feel free to whip these up in your own kitchen (and hit us up if you’ve found a recipe from your favorite restaurant, too!)

For snack break

5 easy recipes that will cater to your cookie cravings

C is for cookies that’s good enough for us—and thankfully, some places with famous cookie recipes have shared their secrets to making this delectable snack.

During quarantine, the American hotel chain DoubleTree by Hilton revealed the recipe for their signature chocolate chip cookies. The same goes for Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, who hopes that the cookie’s familiar taste will help ease the longing of those who frequently visit Walt Disney World Resort.

For lunch and dinner

Ikea just released their Swedish meatball recipe. Try out Nando’s and McDo’s meals too

Ikea’s Swedish meatballs are a staple in their stores, theme parks and hotels—and during quarantine, they’ve given customers a chance to bring it to their very own kitchens. 

Another dish we’re adding to our menu is Nando’s grilled Peri-peri wings with the help of the restaurant’s authentic recipe—which surprisingly requires four ingredients only. 

For dessert time
