Amazon.com Review

Don't knock it. Try a couple of these recipes and you may begin to wonder if the secret ingredient in some of the best barbecues, salads, sides, and desserts from your favorite down-home restaurant or neighbor's kitchen is really Tab, Fresca, or Coke. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Great Gift for a Coke Collector, January 17, 2002

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!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun recipes to try, August 29, 2009

I had seen this book years ago and have tried to find it but apparently it isn't printed anymore. I've had the chocolate cake and wanted to make it at home so I was delighted to find the book on-line. I find it fun to experiment with ingredients that are different and was pleased with the ones I've tried so far. There are good hints on which of the products work best, i.e., regular Coke products and sugar-free varieties and whether to use Coke, Sprite or orange juice in the recipe. The ingredients are ones you would have on hand so the recipes are generally fast and easy. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to try new recipes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, unusual recipes, January 10, 2007

One of the best cookbooks I have ever bought, I have now purchased a few of them as gifts. A particularly good recipe is for Holiday Bread and Butter pudding- my family would eat it every night given the chance!
Some very simple ideas as well as some slightly more complicated ones.
The book would probably benefit from having pictures to go with the recipes but with so many tasty or unusual sounding ideas you'll be keen to try them out anyway.
