Honey! Cookbook Giveaway

I am a pretty avid, some would say obsessed, collector of recipes. I have stacks of cookbooks, binders filled with recipes torn from magazines and computer folders filled with untold amounts of digital inspiration too. Anyone else in the same boat?

If you are, I have something to add to your collection.

Short Stacked Editions cookbooks are hand-bound, short-format cookbooks about inspiring ingredients created by the country’s best authors, chefs and food writers. They feel special and personal. Each edition is focused on a single ingredient. Beyond just recipes, each author gives you reasons why you need to love and use that ingredient.

Take for instance Volume 8 by Rebekah Peppler; it’s all about honey. Most people think honey is just a way to add sweetness to tea or baked goods, but it’s so much more than that. The recipes range from cocktails to popcorn, caramel to pickles, main dishes to desserts.
Her writing style is informational, and at the same time casual and relatable. The recipes are a great mix of sweet and savory.

Since it was a Friday night, I immediately jumped to the cocktail selections. They did not disappoint. Given my newly acquired love of bourbon,  I first tried the recipe for a Vanilla Honey Old Fashioned. It was totally worth the trip to the store to get fresh vanilla beans.

Then I went for the Bee’s Knees. Wow, what a great summer-sit-on-the-patio cocktail. The honey syrup balanced out the botanicals of the gin so wonderfully. It went down really easy.

Now I think I’ll go back to the front of the book because there is a recipe for honey bacon that I just have to make next.

Want to get the recipe? Well, here’s the cool part!

Short Stacked Editions not only gave me a copy of Honey to review, they gave me an extra copy to give to one of my lucky readers! So, now is your chance to get a your very own copy of Honey by Rebekah Peppler from Short Stacked Editions. Plus, I’m throwing in a jar of local honey to sweeten the deal. Enter below and then next Monday (June 30, 2014) I’ll announce the winner! Sweet!
