Full Description
In the same winning format as Lavender Garden and Sage Garden, this sumptuously photographed gift book tells the story behind the incomparably sweet amber liquid known as honey. Food writer Stephanie Rosenbaum shares its history and lore, outlines the natural process of creating honey, profiles varieties, and offers up over thirty tantalizing recipes for edibles and crafts (amber lollipops and healthy smoothies, lip-smacking lip balm and honeycomb candles). Caroline Kopp's gorgeous photographs take the reader on the wondrous journey from the bee to the biscuit.
