If you love honey, you will love this book.

Very informative with lots of neat information on the flowers that give us unifloral honey. Also, lots of wonderful food and drink pairing ideas.

Interesting for what it left out as much as for what it included. No eucalyptus honey? No acacia? Still, it covered a lot of ground- or maybe a lot of flowers. Many interesting facts about both plants and their habits as well as the flowers/nectars/honeys produced by the bees working them. There was a good chapter on adulterants and their ubiquity. A lot of the pairings, as well as some of the tasting notes, struck me as too, too.

I did not expect to be so good. But when I start reading it I could not stop! Very interesting information and perspective for honey lovers (learn how to wisely buy and better enjoy honey), beekeepers (learn how to find the characteristics of your honey and present to your clients), educators (making interesting honey tasting workshops).

Nice presentation of the book and useful information.

Rating: 4.5 Happy Honeybees

This book made me want to find a swirly skirt and go spin around in a verdant field somewhere à la Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music. Does that sound weird for a book about honey? I might have thought so prior to reading, but it’s really not—as this book enlightened me, so much of how honey tastes is dependent on the land where it’s produced, and The Honey ...more

This book told me way more about honey than I ever knew I needed to know! I'm not sure I'll ever have a honey tasting, but I liked the recipes. ...more

This book opened this reviewer's eyes, so to speak, as one never imagined that there was so much variety in honey. Of course, when you think about it and rationalise it, it is fairly obvious, but unless you are a particular fan of honey you might be forgiven for just picking up whatever honey is cheapest from the store when you need "honey" for your cooking. This reviewer is guilty as charged.

Of course, when you think about it and rationalise it, it is fairly obvious, but unless you are a particular fan of honey you might be forgiven for just picking up whatever honey is cheapest from the store when you need "honey" for your cooking. This reviewer is guilty as charged.

So this book presents a very detailed, yet lightly-written, look at the rich, diverse world of honey, considering over 30 variants of honey (that are available in the United States). The book still has a lot to offer for those who live further afield since this book is packaged full of knowledge. Unfortunately, for this reviewer who doesn't like flying insects, there are far too many very lifelike pictures of bees in close-up. One can admire the excellent photographs for sure even with a bit of a funny feeling in one's tummy! It probably didn't help to read that bee venom (stings) is used by some as a treatment therapy…

This book is truly a celebration of honey! Whether it is an examination of how honey is made, how its taste is influenced or the "darker side" of honey (fraud and impurities) you cannot fail to find a LOT of interesting things you never knew unless, of course, you live and breath honey as the authors seem to do and even then…

Consideration has even been given to the different tastes of honey, how different honey types can be paired with different foods and, of course, a few recipes that use this rather vital ingredient. It is a shame that there were not more recipes involving honey in this book. Compared to the mass of detail and comprehensiveness of every other chapter, the recipe section seemed rather short in comparison. The book should also include a glossary and index which, if it follows the rest of this book, will be very comprehensive, but this review copy did not feature this so no opinion may be given as to its completeness and thoroughness.

This is a truly fascinating book even for someone who uses honey passively. Maybe it might even tempt the reader to be a little adventurous. It is rare that one finds a book like this which manages to transform a relative passive, disinteresting subject to a rather fascinating, enthralling, gripping read. Hopefully the authors can team up with a cook, use their honey expertise and produce even more great recipes that can show the versatility and flexibility of this sticky substance.

So many lovely photos... oh, and there's great information too. I have this book as supplemental reading for my beekeeping classes. It is a fun, quick read that offers facts about honey that the layman likely does not know. ...more
