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)!!! But even if you never wanted to learn how to make Coke Glazed Ham or learn about any of the other things Coke can do: Check it out for the novelty--Coke is an evolving relic of Amer ican culture and history and the recipes were all created by consumers--not the company itself!!
