Your Must-Keep Collection Of Restaurant Recipes To Make At Home

Some of our favourite eateries have been revealing their treasured secret recipes during lockdown. We may be able to buy the real deal now but this is knowledge worth hanging on to, peeps!

We’ve created a handy directory of the best dishes to cook up at home. You’re welcome…

First, breakfast. And with this recipe in your clutches you have the power of an anytime-you-feel-like-it Egg McMuffin.

It’s not McFicial (see what we did there?) but we’re also filing this chef/fan’s recipe for a McDonald’s Cheeseburger away for future reference. We’re lovin’ it.

Nando’s shares Chicken Piri Piri recipe. Instagram crashes.

FYI, they have a whole heap of other yummy recipes on their website too.

In true IKEA style, there’s an instruction leaflet for how to make the Swedish superstore’s iconic meatballs.

Plus on their website you’ll find a recipe for their Veggie Balls as well as a tasty selection of ways to serve them.

Up your pasta game with this chilli prawn pasta recipe from the Italian chain – a menu favourite. And check out their website for loads of other fantastic recipes, like Nutella cookies and bombolini doughnuts (drool).

KFC are notoriously tight-lipped about their secret recipe so, sadly, we can’t bring you that. We can, however, share one super fan’s 18-month quest to create the ultimate fakeaway.

Fire up the fryer, we’re in! Winner winner, chicken dinner.

We love a bit of GIY (Greggs It Yourself) so their recipe for this feast of cheesy sausage and beans is one we’ll be keeping hold of. Weiner weiner, sausage dinner? OK, too much.

In case you missed it, they also shared their recipe for Steak Bakes and Chicken Bake on their Instagram. Well played, Greggs.

We heart homemade pizza, so getting our hands on the actual recipe for Pizza Express’ classic margarita was a special moment. The great news is it’s on their website along with loads more tasty treats (hello doughballs, you beauties).

In the wittily titled ‘Wok from home’ series on Instagram, the Japanese restaurant chain kicked things off by sharing their much-loved Chicken Katsu recipe.

They’ve also given access to a number of other popular recipes worth knowing about through their website.

We’ll end with something sweet and what better than these deliciously decadent bars of loveliness? Perfect for popping into packed lunches.

They also share recipes for their Coconut Bites, Dark Chocolate Chunk Cookies and much more through their Insta so take a peek and get baking!
