The earliest evidence of enjoying honey in Scotland dates back to 1000 BC - an Iron Age pot containing honey was found in a tomb in Fife. Honey has added subtlety and sweetness to the Scottish diet since ancient times. Scottish honey, with its aromatic notes of fir, hive, clover, and birch, is a unique and magical ingredient, and the Honey Bible includes a series of easy recipes that highlight this wonderful resource.

Liz Ashworth introduces us to its complexity, from dishes like the medieval sweet marinated salmon and beautiful honeyed beets, to the exquisite cranachan and the more modern chocolate honey torte. Prepared in collaboration with one of the UK's oldest and largest beekeeping cooperatives, Chain Bridge in the Scottish Borders, this book draws from the experience and traditions of generations of skilled beekeepers and Scottish cooks in using this exceptionally natural and organic food. The Chain Bridge beekeeping cooperative is a thriving family business started by beekeeping consultant William Selby Robson in 1948, specializing in natural honey products, producing everything from combs to beeswax.
