Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This book is genius. And for the majority of people, unusable. The ingredients are extremely difficult to get and require a tremendous amount of effort. Is this bad? Not if you can and want to put that kind of energy into this venture. Some of it can be special ordered, some of it requires the knowledge of your local park ranger (white pine needles, anyone?). Fresh tumeric juice, Seedlip Spice 94, black cardamom pods, kefir whey, buckwheat tea, soy lecithin powder, oil of balsam of Peru, saba. . .and most recipes call for a special syrup or salt for which recipes are included in the book: spiced mushroom salt, black cardamom cinnamon syrup, for example. If you are a thinking of setting up a professional bar of non-alcoholic drinks and would like to do this on that kind of level, or a wealthy person with nothing else to do, this may be the book for you. But for anyone else on the planet, this is never going to be actually used.
