Hot Honey Roasted Nuts
The best edible gift is one nobody expects. A jar of these turns up at a Christmas table and disappears faster than anything you could have bought.
Honey Mustard Dressing
Most bottled honey mustard dressings contain very little of either. This takes two minutes, keeps for a fortnight, and the order you add things is what stops it splitting.
Honey Banana Bread
Swapping honey for sugar sounds simple and it isn't, which is why so many honey banana breads come out heavy and dark outside while still raw in the middle.
No-Churn Honey Ice Cream
No machine, no custard, no standing over a pot tempering egg yolks. Three ingredients and a whisk, and because nothing gets cooked you can actually taste the honey.
Porridge with Honey and Bee Pollen
Most porridge is made with water, stirred twice and eaten out of obligation. Two things make the difference, and neither of them is honey.
Honey and Harissa Chicken Traybake
Most honey chicken recipes have the same flaw, and you only find out forty minutes in when you open the oven. Honey burns. The fix is simply to add it late.
Honey Poached Pears
There's a version of this that turns out grey and falling apart, and a version that comes out pale and glossy and holding its shape. The difference is almost entirely how hard you let it boil.
Honey & Lemon, Done Properly
Almost everyone makes this wrong, and it's the same mistake every time. Boiling water. Here's the right way, and it takes ten extra seconds.
Hot Honey, Without the Heat
Every hot honey recipe tells you to warm the honey. Don't. Here's how to infuse chilli into raw Western Australian honey without heat, and why it tastes better for it.
