Honey recipes
From sweet to savoury, blended to pure, runny or set – honey comes in all manner of golden guises. And it’s not just for your toast or tea. Create a buzz around the dinner table with one of our many luscious honey recipes.
Honey is a remarkable substance, with taste and texture determined by what the bees gather – and when. There’s a huge amount of choice on the shelves, and while upstanding larger players exist, the UK has a healthy cottage beekeeping industry, meaning that small and local is a simple route to quality assurance. You can find events and beekeepers to buy from at The British Beekeepers Association.
