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.
