Classic Cooking with Coca-Cola
I bought this as a gift for my best friend who collects all things Coca-Cola. However, while it was in my possession, I did get a chance to reveiew some of the recipies. They cover a wide range and use ingredients I'd forgotten about (remember Fanta?) or wished I had (powdered milk and vegetables that I didn't even know came in canned form)!!!
