How Sweet it is!

As an active beekeeper, I am always on the look out for new and exciting honey cookbooks. This book not only has 100 new, exciting honey recipes; it also has great information about honeybees, honey, and beekeeping. I love this new book and give it 5 queen bee stars!

For the Honey Lover

This is a great little book! It's not your average receipes-only ingredient book. The text does include a lot of history on honey. It also explains what the different types of honey are, what makes them different, and even attempts to give you a guide to what foods/drinks go best with each type. And yes, it does include, many many recipes..... some easy, some a bit more difficult.... but all of them are a must-have for a honey lover. There are many useful recipes in here that I haven't seen anywhere else.... or for that matter, would have even thought about using honey in. Buy this book with confidence... it will be one of your favorites!
