There are so many ways to use honey. Honey just makes everything better.

Greek Honey Cake is a delicious and light cake. It can also be added to yoghurt and cereals in place of sugar or on pancakes.

Despite its high sugar content and sweetness it is widely used in savoury dishes. Add honey instead of sugar in savoury dishes, such as Asian dishes. Use in roasted vegetables (we roast vegetables for the deli with thyme, then we stir through a spoonful of honey while it’s still hot), honey roasted carrots, honey and soy marinade for fish dishes, like salmon or trout.

Goats cheese is a wonderful partner for honey, just a little drizzle transforms this savoury cheese. One of our favourite dishes, especially in the summer is halloumi with sesame and honey. Just cook the halloumi on the griddle or pan, then warm through some honey and sesame seeds and add the halloumi for a little while. Delicious!

Honey roast ham is an all year round winner with turkey at Christmas and on a Ploughman’s in the summer. Serve with colcannon in the autumn and as a hash in the spring. See all year round!
