The Honey Connoisseur
Selecting, Tasting, and Pairing Honey, with a Guide
to More Than 30 Varietals
C. Marina Marchese and Kim Flottum
From honey experts C. Marina Marchese and Kim
Flottum comes this comprehensive introduction to
the origin, avor, and culinary uses of more than 30
varietals of honey, from ubiquitous clover to tangy
star thistle to rich, smoky buckwheat
L
ike wine, cheese, coffee, and chocolate, honey has
emerged as an artisanal obsession. Its popularity at farmers
markets and specialty food stores has soared as retailers are
capitalizing on the trend. The Honey Connoisseur teaches
consumers everything they need to know about how to taste,
select, and use a diverse selection of honey.
After a brief explanation of how bees produce honey, the
authors introduce the concept of terroir, the notion that soil,
weather, and other natural phenomena can affect the taste of
honey. As with wines, knowing the terroir of a honey varietal
helps to inform an understanding of its avor.
The book goes on to give a thorough course in the origins of
more than 30 different honeys as well as step-by-step instructions,
how to taste honey, describe its avor and determine what other
avors pair best with a particular honey. Also included are simple
recipes such as dressings, marinades, quick-and-easy desserts,
and beverages.
Beautifully illustrated and designed, The Honey Connoisseur is
the perfect book for foodies and locavores alike.
C. Marina Marchese is changing the way people taste and use honey.
She is a beekeeper, author, and honey sommelier and the visionary
behind Red Bee

Artisanal Honey. She is the founder of the American

Honey Tasting Society, which hosts Honey Tasting Laboratory Workshops
held at venues like Mario Batalis Eataly, the Food Network, The Four
Seasons Restaurant, Stone Barns Center for Food & Agriculture,
Murrays Cheese Shop, Artisanal Premium Cheese Center, and The
United Nations.
After receiving a degree in horticulture from the University of Wisconsin
at Madison, Kim Flottum worked for four years in the USDA Honey
Bee Research Lab studying pollination ecology. He is the editor of
the monthly magazine Bee Culture and is the publisher of books
on honeybee pests and diseases, marketing, queen production,
beekeeping history, and beginning beekeeping, as well as the classic
industry reference The ABC & XYZ of Bee Culture.

oo many of us let vegetables play second fddle
in meals that center on protein or carbs. For chef
Matt Wilkinson, vegetables come frst. He builds his
dishes around vegetables that are in season, when
they taste the best, are most affordable, and most
readily available.
The recipes in Mr. Wilkinsons Vegetables range
from simple salads such as Brussels Sprout Leaves,
Mozzarella, and Anchovies, or Roasted Cucumber,
Quinoa, Freekah, and Herbs, to hearty dishes such
as Soft Parmesan Polenta with Crab and Mussels,
or Braised Eggplant, Tomato, and Meatballs. They
also include satisfying snacks like Irenes Tzatziki,
or Smoked Tomato and Goats Curd Gougres, as
well as desserts, such as Carrot Cake with Grated
Carrot, Preserved Lemon, Raisin, and Ginger Pickle,
or Creamed Rice Pudding. While many of the 80 plus
dishes will appeal to vegetarians, there are plenty
that incorporate meat. In all of them, Mr. Wilkinsons
vegetables are the stars.
With beautiful photography and vintage illustrations,
the book is both timely and timeless.

and memorable ways.
F
or nearly a decade, Theodore Gray has been demonstrating
basic principles of chemistry and physics through
exciting, sometimes daredevil experiments that he executes,
photographs, and writes about for his monthly Popular Science
column Gray Matter.
Theo Grays Mad Science: Experiments You Can Do at
Home, But Probably Shouldnt, published by Black Dog in 2009,
collected Grays Popular Science columns, along with hundreds
of photographs, many of which were not published with the
original columns.
Now comes the second volume of mad-scientist experiments,
which includes more dramatic, enlightening, and sometimes
daring demonstrations in which Gray dips his hand into molten
lead to demonstrate the Leidenfrost effect; crushes a tomato
between two small magnets to demonstrate the power of
neodymium-iron-boron magnets; and creates trinkets out of
solid mercury to demonstrate how the state of matter depends
very much on the temperature at which it exists.
Other experiments include:
A foil boat foating on an invisible sea
DIY X-ray photos
A bacon lance that cuts steel
Charging a smart phone with apples and pennies
