Now in its Eleventh year, National Honey Week, organised by the Honey Association, http://www.honeyassociation.com/honeywe.htm to promote our understanding and usage of Honey. Check out some of their food recipes, supported by celebrity chef Lesley Waters, or choose from some of their health and beauty tips.
Another fun source for Honey recipes is Roger Patterson’s website http://www.honeyrecipes.org.uk, which shows recipes suitable for BBQ’s or chutneys to puddings.
Another great website for useful Honey information is http://www.honey.com , although a little boring to look at, once you delve into its menu, there are some delicious recipes to be found, health and beauty tips and facts about the history of honey collection.
Even the BBC have a section devoted to Honey this year, try their website at http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/mostof_honey.shtml for Honey recipes, facts and figures.

Or try my favourite: Waitrose’s Food Illustrated. Search under ‘recipes with honey’; there are nearly 600 to choose from - http://www.waitrose.com/recipes/search.aspx?q=with+honey more than enough to get through the next week.
I love this one for lunch at the weekend or for a light supper, whilst you can still get parsnips:
