My best honey recipes

Whilst working on a recipe for my client Peel’s honey recently, and where I made the showstopping spiced date cake with cream cheese and honey frosting using three of their honey products, I realised I have quite a few delicious honey recipes on my website. I’m rounding up a few of my best ones to celebrate this magical ingredient that is made by magical bees. They buzz around performing little miracles in our food chain every day and deserve our absolute respect.
Pear & halva crumble loaf with pecans, honey & maple
I adore this interesting fruit loaf that isn’t that sweet and perfect slathered in butter with a cup of tea.
Spiced date cake with cream cheese & honey frosting
This is my favourite granola recipe.
Lemon pistachio cupcakes with honey meringue frosting
These cupcakes are a little different and a little grown-up.
Spicy honey and Rooibos granita gin & tonic
Take your gin and tonic to the next level with this spicy rooibos & honey granita.
Crispy pan-fried feta with thyme and black pepper-infused honey
Infusing black pepper & thyme into honey and then drizzling it over fried feta is something I can highly recommend.
Honey, rosewater & cinnamon panna cotta
This is my favourite panna cotta recipe of all time. Simply delicious and the perfect way to end a dinner party.
Roast fig tartines with blue cheese, prosciutto and honey
This is salty-sweet perfection in each and every bite.
Baked goats cheese cigars with honey & thyme
These are impressive on every level and an old hit on my blog.
Crispy noodle slaw with a soy, honey & ginger dressing
I adore this crispy noodle slaw and so will everyone else.
Pizza Bianco with prosciutto, nectarines, thyme & honey
Another treat that is salty and sweet. Perfect for summer.
This chicken doesn’t look like much but is so good. The honey and lime give it a proper flavour boost.
An unusual flavour combination that really works so well. Like a milky rooibos tea with hone but in an ice cream format.
Vanilla ice cream with honey-roasted figs
Decadently rich and creamy ice cream for when figs are in season.
Roast chicken with stout, rosemary & honey
The honey offsets the bitterness in the stout here beautifully creating a delicious pan sauce.
Bacon-wrapped sausages with rosemary & honey
Pork, rosemary and honey are a match made in heaven. Add a mustard dip to finish the story.
Pear tartines with blue cheese & honey
A sweet and savoury toast treat.
Dukkah baked pears with goats cheese & honey
Serve these pears that have been roasted in dukkah on a cheeseboard. So good.
Goats cheese truffles with honey & pistachio
This is an old favourite on my website that needs to be pulled out and remade soon.
