TheChookKeeper Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Hello PuddleDuck, I saw a book about cooking with honey at a recent lecture at the local beekeeper association - it was called "Honey in the Kitchen" by Joyce White - I wrote the details down to look at buying at a later date. I only had a quick flick through, but it looked quite reasonable! Hope that helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melbourne12 Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 If you're buying for a beekeeper (or wannabee-keeper) then I'd recommend Kim Flottum's Honey Handbook. It's only partly a recipe book, but the ones that are included are good. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Honey-Handbook-Creating-Harvesting-Cooking/dp/1845433025/ref=pd_cp_b_1 If it's just a cookbook that you want, then I think it's quite difficult to get anything comprehensive. The Americans use honey much more than we do here in UK, and a browse on amazon.com reveals a better selection, but still a bit limited. What about recipe software? One of the best is at www.bigoven.com which currently has nearly 8,000 recipes containing honey, and over 1,500 with "honey" in the title! It's less than £26 for the version on CD, and would make an excellent gift for any computer-literate cook. I use Bigoven a lot. You can print out recipes and work from them in the kitchen, scribble on them, and drop as much fat on them as you like, without spoiling the original.
