A book that will... stick with you!

Honey has existed as food since ancient times; it was the first sweetener in our diet. A natural, healthy food essential to the body, a gift from nature. After all, since humans desire sweet substances, they quickly turned to honey collection and later tried to tame bees, creating the art of beekeeping and raising hives in tree hollows, woven baskets, later clay, and finally wooden hives with movable frames.

Many ancient physicians around the world had recognized the biological and medicinal properties of honey, which became the primary sweetening food in many parts of the world and was included as a staple in their diet. Indeed, honey, apart from being valuable to humans, was also deified and became food for the gods.

In our days, honey continues to be a unique product that, aside from being a sweetening substance, can provide an incredibly vast variety of creative dishes and serves as a useful ingredient in modern cooking and pastry-making. It is now widely known and scientifically proven that honey has many beneficial properties.

This book is a tribute to honey and gastronomy. Through images of culinary journeys in many regions of Greece, from the most impressive restaurant kitchens to grandma's wood stove, honey is the star.

Thus, the reader is presented not just with a delicious dish but also with the wonderful environment in which it is created, showcasing every ritual and uniqueness. A treasure of cooking like never before, with remarkable creations by people who love what they do. Each recipe is a precious piece of a distinctive honey that the bees produced and generously gifted us.
