    If you like gammon, try Nigella's recipe - you basically cook the gammon in coke/cherry coke instead of water. It is delicious and doesn't taste of fizzy pop at all!

    I second crispy's idea, Ham in Coca-Cola is absolutely delicious, it gives it a kind of honey-roast, bbq taste. I think Nigella also does a Coca Cola cake - a chocolate one. If you are interested I have the books somewhere and can look them up for you.
