Review: Honey, I'm Homemade Edited by May Berenbaum

            This title I first heard about in May during the Book Expo in NYC, the publisher handed out little postcards with info, a recipe, a little honey drop candy attached. I enjoyed the presentation of this marketing ploy immensely. Then I found out about netGalley and found the same title was available there as well a few months later. Yay!
            Now granted, the first part of this book is a treatise on the historical production and use of honey through the ages to present day but it was well written and not stuffy in nature, thus an enjoyable seventeen page read. Then the sweet part began, first a chapter on cooking with Honey, sort of the do's and don'ts section.
           After that each chapter is devoted to a different type of baked goods with honey as a major ingredient, such as cookies, breads, pies. Interestingly, there is a section on No-Bake recipes which would be very handy for the hot summer months and some boiled and fried options as well for those who can handle the more complicated recipes. I tend to avoid hot oil myself but a friend of mine has the knack so I will be sharing a recipe with her to try it out. I actually got this book to review back in August but I took the extra time to actually try out some of the recipes, otherwise what is the point? No regrets!
This review refers to the netGalley edition.
