Honey: Nature's Magic - The Ultimate Practical Guide to 101 Things to Do with Honey, from Sweetening and Flavouring, to Polishing, Soothing and ... with Tips, Hints and 40 Tempting Recipes

This a a quality book. I love honey and for the past 18 months have taken it every day in hot water with a slice of lemon and fresh ginger root. Last winter was the first winter I did not catch a cold or suffer from a throat infection of some kind. Coincidence? Maybe?The book contains beautiful photographs on every single page. The first chapter starts off with a history of honey and bee keeping, an overview of honey production and honey products and ends with a discussion about the different types of honey. I had no idea just how many varieties there are... Cotton, rubber or sunflower honey anyone?Chapter two looks at the medicinal properties of honey, ancient and modern remedies, with recipes for a good night's sleep, digestive aid and stress relief. There is even a section about therapeutic bee stings... The squeemish need to look away when they get to page 35...Chapter three looks at using honey to make some lovely natural beauty treatments, for your skin, hair, lips and nails.Chapter four covers uses for honey in the house and garden, such as beeswax and honey soap, polish,candles, wax crayons for the kids and even a honey fly trap.Finally, chapter five rounds off with some delicious recipes using the precious golden liquid, such as creme fraiche and honey ice cream, honey relishes and dressings, marinades and glazes.The book is quite large and contains 94 beautiful pages. It is a joy to dip in and out off and there is always something new to discover. I still marvel at how much information about honey is contained in this book. An excellent purchase that would also make a lovely gift.

So many honey related facts and useful information a book you can dip in and out of...pardon the pun!

My brother-in-law now has so many other things to do with their bee products! They were looking forward to the beauty products.

This is a superb book with some excellent ideas on using honey. It's inspired us to try different recipes.

I am a beekeeper so I like the products and will be making some for Christmas!

Excellent book, packed with info

This book serves several purposes , as a reference , informative and inspiring for those who wish to take up some craft work activity. I have purchased some for school libaries to inspire the teachers to get children interested in Bees and Honey
