5.0 out of 5 stars Cooking With Honey, June 21, 2000

By	E. Whitaker (US) - See all my reviews

Cooking With Honey is an excellent small book/bulletin. This book is an essential guide everyone should have in their kitchen. This is better than a cook book, it tells you the right way to cook with honey, how to convert your favorite recipes to use honey instead of sugar and some fats. You can not go wrong with this handy book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A real gem with great wisdom, July 17, 2006

By	MotherLodeBeth "MotherLodeBeth" (Sierras of California) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)

Have been trying to find some ways to cut back drastically on the white sugar needed in various recipes because white sugar has no health benefits, while honey does. But I was hesitant to use honey for fear I would use to little or to much. This is where this gem of a booklet helped alot. For instance I discovered that while you substitute one cup for the one cup of sugar a recipe calls for, you also decrease the amount of liquid in the recipe by 1/4 cup. Or is a baked goods recipe if no baking soda is called for, you need to add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda because honey is acidic. And when baking with honey you need to cook longer in the oven and at 25 degrees lower than called for in the recipe. And that most honey breads and cakes improve with flavor if they are baked and then wrapped a day before eating. And if you want to use honey when canning fruit, you have to cook the fruit a bit longer because honey contains liquid. Pages 9-30 are recipes that are really great. And page 8 notes that honey is healthier and that should a bee encounter pesticides it doesn't return to the hive.
