Ingredient Of The Week: Honey (c)2011 LaDomestique.com

This past week at La Domestique was devoted to honey. We explored both the sweet and savory side of honey. Shopping at farmers markets is a great way to find honey that’s unrefined and therefore more flavorful and healthful. Look for varieties of honey made from local flora and fauna in your area. Recently I picked up some apple blossom honey from a local apple orchard that is especially delicious for fall. I hope this past week inspired you to try something new with honey.

In case you missed anything, I’ve got a recap:

Monday:  Announcing honey as the ingredient of the week.

Tuesday:  10 Ways Tuesday! Creative ideas for cooking with honey.

Wednesday:  Cook in the moment with a recipe for Seared Lamb Chops and Honey-Prune Sauce.

Thursday:  Learn the story of honey: the hive, harvesting, varieties and flavors, cooking and flavor pairing.

Friday:  A recipe for autumnal Walnut and Honey Soda Bread from The River Cottage Bread Handbook.

Thanks so much for reading!
