Bienenstich or Bee Sting Cake originates from Germany. It's a light and airy yeast cake with a rich vanilla custard or cream filling and a crunchy honey almond top. While we call it cake, it actually has more in common with a honey sweetened Italian Panettone or a French brioche loaf...
Our honey chilli recipe is a delicious sweet and spicy chilli that you can serve in so many ways, with rice, jacket potatoes, or some nice chunky bread. It's also perfect for making 'chilli dogs' using it as a topping for hot dogs. It's a simple 'one pot' recipe made in a large saucepan or wok. We've intentionally made this fairly mild on the heat scale, for one we find it's the better way to experience all the flavour from the wonderful spices and secondly we want the recipe to be enjoyed by everyone...
It's a new year again and what better way to start the year than with some delicious smoothie recipes? Both of these recipes contain superfoods bursting with vitamins, nutrients and antioxidants. They are a great way to counter some of that holiday over-indulgence on sweets, crisps and other slightly less healthy snacks! These recipes will make enough for 2 servings, so you can either share with a loved one or save half in the fridge for the next day!...
Our delicious mincemeat filling is bursting with fruits, nuts, honey and wonderful Christmassy spices! The ingredients list may look quite long but it's very easy to make. A heads up before you start, the filling will need 24-48 hours chilling before using to allow all the flavours to fully develop, so make it a couple of days before you intend to bake the pies for the best results!...
Our tasty and easy to bake Hot Toddy Lemon Cake is based on our tried and tested honey cake recipe. We've added some elements from a classic lemon drizzle cake and a traditional Scotch hot toddy to make a deliciously boozy cake that's perfect for the colder weather, which seems to be coming in all too quickly at the moment...
Steak bites are one of my favourite ways to enjoy a nice piece of steak. It's also a great way to serve steak to kids as they can sometimes struggle cutting up a large piece of meat to eat; even I find it a bit of a chore sometimes, when I'm hungry all I want to do is tuck in to my food! Our honey garlic steak bites can be served in many different ways, from a simple appetizer to a larger meal with potatoes and vegetables of your choice...
Whoopie pies are a sweet filled sandwich cake or cookie that originated in the United States. I think they fall somewhere in the cake dessert realm and remind me of something similar to a Viennese whirl. They are great with a cuppa - but they also make a fantastic dessert in a bowl with a little pouring cream...
These juicy chicken kebabs are bursting with flavour and have both a delightful honey sweetness and a real kick of zesty tang! The lime pairs perfectly with our sweet honey to create a really tasty and exciting dish from some humble chicken thighs. Our honey lime kebabs can be served as part of a larger barbecue feast or as a simple but delicious meal with some rice, colourful grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad...
On the 1st July it's National Ginger Snap Day in the USA, so if you need an excuse to bake yourself some sweet ginger biscuits, then why not make some to celebrate with our American cousins!
Ginger snaps are said to have originated in Germany and the 'snap' part of the name actually comes from the German word snappen which means to “to seize quickly” and is not a reference to the iconic 'snap' of the biscuit as you might think. In some parts of the world they are made to be quite soft like an American cookie. However in the UK (with our penchant for dunking biscuits in a cuppa!) most people prefer a ginger snap to be quite snappy....
This recipe will help you create a delicious savoury loaf that's perfect for sharing. It's difficult to beat the taste of freshly baked bread but when it's combined with salty feta, sweet honey and fresh herbs it's absolutely divine! If you don't have the time to make the bread yourself, just pop to your nearest supermarket bakery, pick up a fresh bloomer and skip to step 6... we promise we won't tell anyone!...
These delightful and easy to make biscuits contain no refined sugar at all- being sweetened only with our pure honey and enhanced with the natural sweetness of a ripe banana, vanilla extract, and ground almonds. The almonds also add a welcome and pleasing texture to the biscuits which can sometimes be missing when using honey as a sugar replacement in biscuit recipes...
This is a really great, easy recipe to liven up that bag of sweetcorn in the freezer or tin from the cupboard. It can be served with almost anything but I really enjoy it with sausages. It's also something I usually do a big dish of at barbecues and it always goes down better than a traditional leafy side salad. This recipe will be plenty to feed 4-6 people, if you need to feed more, you can double the amounts...
