This week on Why We Cook Chef Smarty Pants laments America's obsession with soda, and fears for a close friend with a diet soda addiction. When a search for a soda with maximum flavor and minimum sweetness ends without a clear winner, she ponders the potential for creating her own soda replacement beverage. By taking stock of some of the most soda-worthy fruits from around the world (heavily favoring the citrusy, sour, tart fare), Chef Erica is able to recommend some potential concoctions that might satiate even the hardest soda devotee. This episode was sponsored by Whole Foods Market.
