review 1: This is a surprisingly fun book. In addition to recipes, soda basics are covered--different sweeteners, natural soda ingredients, what goes into a siphon (soda-carbonating machine, like SodaStream), a brief history, and more. Also sprinkled through are short notes about history person/company X, phenomenon Y, and tips for specific recipes.The book explain the three different ways of making a soda: using a siphon, fermentation, and mixing a syrup with seltzer. Each has an easily-identifiable icon so you can easily locate the direction for your preferred method, and most recipes spell out multiple way you can make the soda depending on which carbonation method you use. In the event that one way isn't feasible--for example, the entires on kombucha, which much be brewed/fermen... moreted--it's very easily stated.For fun, the end of the book also includes some soda-inspired (or included as their ingredients) recipes and desserts. Fun!
review 2: After getting a SodaStream as a gift, I started buying their syrups and didn't love them. I do love it for seltzer, but crave different soda flavors. Along comes "Homemade Soda" and my quest is over! There are so many recipes that I will never be able to make them all (200, in fact)...soda syrups, teas, juices, flavored waters, floats, health drinks and more! And for those of you who don't have a soda machine or a siphon, most recipes for the syrups can just be mixed with bottled seltzer!The book itself is in full color with easy to read fonts. Not just recipes though... there is information on the history of soda, soda machines, siphons and brewing.I will definitely be using this book a lot! less
