The bees have built up their stores for the winter, and we can enjoy the fruits of their labor. I find honey endlessly fascinating. Like wine, it has terroir, or a sense of place. The flavor of honey depends on what plants the bees have gathered pollen from. It ranges from bright and sweet to pungent and bitter. Honey can taste herbal, like lavender, or medicinal, like eucalyptus. Orange blossom honey has the distinct citrusy flavor of orange, lime, and lemon trees. This week at La Domestique we&#8217;ll explore the different types of honey. It&#8217;s such a pleasure to discover the flavors and nuances of local honeys. You&#8217;ve got to pick the right honey for the job, and we&#8217;ll discuss cooking with this golden nectar in both sweet and savory dishes. Honey brings moisture as well as sweetness to baked goods, while bringing depth and a soft note\u00a0 of sugar to savory meat dishes.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s only appropriate that the Jewish new year holiday, Rosh Hashanah, coincides with the honey harvest. The meals served to celebrate Rosh Hashanah include honey in the challah bread and honey cake, symbolizing the wish for a sweet new year. Here at La Domestique, learn the story behind honey and how to best compliment its flavor. I&#8217;m excited to cook in the moment with you! Tomorrow is 10 Ways Tuesday and I&#8217;ve got creative ideas for cooking with honey in fall. See you then!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Autumn is the time of year for harvesting honey.
