A versatile ingredient

Honey tastes great on bread and in tea. Most people know this, but few realize that honey is also ideal for use in many recipes instead of sugar in baking, pickling and cooking. Whether you're looking for inspiration for breakfast, starter, main course or want to add something special to your Christmas or New Year's menu, here are some of the best recipes using honey.

Honey can also be used as a flavor enhancer and a spice that can be used in both sweet and savory cuisines - and to amazing effect. Ideally, honey should be next to salt, pepper and vinegar, right at hand in the kitchen. In these recipes with honey, you'll find lots of inspiration on how to use honey in your cooking.
