Book SynopsisA complete, practical, and entertaining guide to using the best ingredients and minimal equipment to create flavorful brews—including wildcrafted meads, bragots, t’ej, grog, honey beers, and more! "A great guide . . . full of practical information and fascinating lore."—Sandor Ellix Katz, author of The Art of Fermentation Ancient societies brewed flavorful and healing meads, ales, and wines for millennia using only intuition, storytelling, and knowledge passed down through generations―no fancy, expensive equipment or degrees in chemistry needed. In Make Mead Like a Viking, homesteader, fermentation enthusiast, and self-described “Appalachian Yeti Viking” Jereme Zimmerman summons the bryggjemann of the ancient Norse to demonstrate how homebrewing mead―arguably the world’s oldest fermented alcoholic beverage―can be not only uncomplicated but fun. Inside, readers will learn techniques for brewing: Sweet, semi-sweet, and dry meads Melomels (fruit meads) Metheglins (spiced meads) Ethiopian t’ej (honey wine) Flower and herbal meads Bragots Honey beers Country wines Viking grog And there's more for aspiring Vikings to explore, including: The importance of local and unpasteurized honey for both flavor and health benefits What modern homebrewing practices, materials, and chemicals work—but aren’t necessary How to grow and harvest herbs and collect wild botanicals for use in healing, nutritious, and magical meads, beers, and wines How to use botanicals other than hops for flavoring and preserving mead, ancient ales, and gruits The rituals, mysticism, and communion with nature that were integral components of ancient brewing Whether you’ve been intimidated by modern homebrewing’s cost or seeming complexity in the past or are boldly looking to expand your current brewing and fermentation practices, Zimmerman’s welcoming style and spirit will usher you into exciting new territory. Grounded in history and mythology, but―like Odin’s ever-seeking eye―focusing continually on the future of self-sufficient food culture, Make Mead Like a Viking is a practical and entertaining guide for the ages. "Adventurous mead makers or brewers who want to move beyond the basics will find plenty to savor here."—Library Journal Trade ReviewLibrary Journal- "Zimmerman originally documented his brewing experiments on his blog, ­jereme-zimmerman.com. After enthusiastic feedback from participants in the author’s mead workshops, he decided to publish a handbook on making mead with wild yeast, a practice at which the Vikings excelled. His recipes are straightforward and easy to follow, frequently including a story or tips to improve it. They often call for not only standard mead but also an unusual ingredient such as mushrooms, garlic, horehound, or marshmallow plant. Zimmerman packs this slim tome with honey-based brewing recipes, Viking mythology, Viking cultural history (as it applies to mead), a history of beekeeping, a guide to picking honey, how to drink mead, and equipment advice. While there are many mead-making titles on the market, the emphasis on wild yeast along with Zimmerman’s philosophy of experimentation and self-sufficiency make this a unique offering. VERDICT: Adventurous mead makers or brewers who want to move beyond the basics will find plenty to savor here.”Booklist- "After an exhausting day raiding coastlines and terrorizing natives, Vikings loved to relax with a nice quaff of mead. Over the centuries, mead retreated to merely a historical curiosity. But thanks to creative and adventuresome home brewers such as Zimmerman, mead has roared back to life. Zimmerman promotes natural fermentation from airborne yeasts, but for those lacking bold Viking genes, he offers advice on fermentation from commercial yeasts. Text is clear and very encouraging, and he makes mead accessible to both tyros and experienced brewers. Summarizing relevant equipment and ingredients, Zimmerman emphasizes that his disciples will produce their best meads if they don’t go overboard on sterilizing their equipment nor take all the joy out of mead making. Recipes go beyond basic mead to include Ethiopian t’ej, fruit-enhanced melomel, and metheglin, which scents mead with herbs and spices. A valuable addition to any collection that seeks to satisfy the creativity of home brewers.” “A great guide to mead making, full of practical information and fascinating lore.”--Sandor Ellix Katz, author of The Art of Fermentation and Wild Fermentation“This is a fun book—and fortunately, it doesn’t stop there. Coupled with the fun parts is a book that is informative and detailed in everything from choosing honey all the way to what kinds of corks to use. As a beekeeper who has always had lots of good raw honey on hand, I have made mead before but only in the kind of sterile environment that Jereme Zimmerman eschews. His book opened my eyes to the possibility of returning to the much more natural and time-honored ways of brewing this fascinating beverage.”--Jeffrey Hamelman, director, King Arthur Flour Bakery; author of Bread: A Baker’s Book of Techniques and Recipes“Tradition meets modernity in this marvelous look at the ancient brewing of honey-based beverages.”--Mike Faul, owner and brewmaster, Rabbit’s Foot Meadery“I really delighted in this inspired and informative read. Throw caution into the mead-making wind and relish the challenge of some of the more unusual flavorings and ingredients. I now feel more like being a Viking mead maker than ever, and coming from a Celt and fourth-generation mead maker that is something! Enjoy mead and make merry men and maidens.”--Sophia Fenton, director, Cornish Mead Co. Ltd.“Jereme Zimmerman has captured the wild spirit of mead quite literally—as the quintessential naturally fermented beverage of humankind from the beginning, which reached its apotheosis with the Vikings. Without compromising its mysterious allure, he brings it down to earth for all to make and enjoy.”--Patrick E. McGovern, author of Ancient Wine and Uncorking the Past“Make Mead Like a Viking puts the ME back in mead: my Scandinavian heritage simply sang when reliving the history, reading the recipes, and playing the drinking games he includes. And best yet . . . Zimmerman encourages mead makers to keep their own bees! There’s no better way to get the best honey there is than when you, and the bees you care for, make it happen together. For me, this is the perfect marriage.”--Kim Flottum, editor-in-chief, Bee Culture: The Magazine of American Beekeeping

It’s wonderful to have an entire cookbook that incorporates honey in every dish.” —Michel Coatrieux, associate dean, Kendall College “The Queen Bees inspired us to showcase the nuance of artisanal honey in our craft beer. Now Carrie Schloss, also inspired by what’s available at Asheville Bee Charmer, has produced an entire book of delicious recipes that celebrates these wonderful honeys. We raise a honey-infused glass of beer to them!”—Billy L. Pyatt, owner, Catawba Brewing Co.“A truly original cookbook with inventive and delicious recipes that will expand any cook’s repertoire.

Book SynopsisIn From Honey With Love, Honey—a swamp dog living in the wild—tells her own harrowing story in a charming southern voice. Barely a year old, her high-stakes drama begins when she gets trapped and nearly shot. Convinced that she’s a coyote or a “ditch dog,” trappers want to wipe out her breed, perhaps the oldest in North America. But Honey gets rescued by Miss Jane and taken to Banbury Cross Farm, where she rescues and raises Honey’s breed—the Carolina Dog or American Dingo.At the farm, Honey quickly bonds with Mr. Billy, the Field Master for fox hunters, and Ace, the farm manager. They quickly bond as a pack, like the one Honey left in the swamp.Honey’s quickness causes Ace, Miss Jane, and Mr. Billy to train her to become an agility champion. How she runs the race of her life, and how the killers in the swamp get caught, lives in legend. Along the way, Honey learns a lesson she’ll never forget: the strength of the wolf is the pack, and the strength of the pack is the wolf. Trade Review"I was delighted to read Allen Paul’s From Honey With Love, a great human-animal bond story, a wonderful romp through Carolina dog lore, a sweet tale of canine redemption on the nature/culture border and a wonderfully composed animal autobiography in a pleasing southern idiom. The thirst for good writing on dogs and our deep mutual connections is strong both within and outside of the animal protection movement, and the story of this 'second chance dog' is bound to please an American readership that includes tens of millions of animal adopters. Honey’s trust, affection, faith and empathy--and her triumphs--make this a gem of a work." --Bernard Unti, Ph.D., Senior Principal Strategist, Communications, The Humane Society of the United States

Kiki and Malakai have a rare, extraordinary, sizzling chemistry which has you rooting for their love story from the very first moment they cross paths. A triumph of a novel. * Beth O'Leary *Honey & Spice is unapologetically romantic and really sexy. I could not have loved it more. * Marian Keyes *Kiki compares her feelings for Malakai as like swallowing a star. That's a bit how I felt after reading this messy but joyful book. * The Times *This is a fast-paced commercial novel with a refreshing take on a well-worn concept. Someone should adapt it for the screen. * The Sunday Times *Sparkling and self-assured... Babalola really captures the heady infatuation of first love. * The i Paper *Charming and funny. * The Observer *Bolu is one of the laugh-out-loud funniest and sharpest of writers working today.

Book SynopsisOur day is marked by what comes out of the pastry section, and there''s always something good on the way: sticky buns full of cherries and pistachios in the morning; a loaf of rich dough rolled with chocolate, hazelnuts and cinnamon that has been proving since dawn and comes out of the oven fresh for elevenses. Lunch is a crisp, crumbly shell of pastry filled with spiced lamb or burnt aubergine, and at teatime there are cheesecakes and fruit cakes, small cakes and massive cookies - so many cakes that it''s hard to choose one. (There''s no need to worry, whatever you choose will be great!) After dinner there might be poached peaches with roses or something more traditional, sweet and salty Knafe drenched in orange blossom syrup, or maybe just a small piece of fresh marzipan. There''s something sweet, something in the oven for everyone, all day long - welcome to Honey & Co.Chapters include:How to be good at baking: general notes; Store cupboard; Sweet & savoury breaTrade ReviewAfter the success of their multi-award winning debut, Sarit Packer and Itamar Srulovich set the bar pretty high for the much anticipated Honey & Co follow up, but they have pulled it off with aplomb... the book is beautifully written and designed, the recipes failsafe and dependable, and each page is shot through the enticing aromas and flavours of the Middle Eastern kitchen. * Crumb Magazine *This is a great book for anyone who's even moderately interested in baking, or just eating amazing things, but baking pros will get a lot out of it, too. * Delicious Magazine *The recipes are so fragrant and beautiful - very inspiring. * Woman & Home *It contains mouth-watering photographs and recipes that you wouldn't normally find in a baking book. * Bath Magazine *The husband-and-wife team, who together run Honey & Co in London's Fitzrovia, return with more Middle Eastern soul food magic - this time baking, with everything from sticky buns to pastries to cookies. * Gransnet *Most cookbooks now are promising either health or comfort. On the comfort side are the baking books. With their consoling rivers of ganache, they have an air of childish innocence. Obesity crisis? What crisis? My favourite of 2015 is Honey & Co: The Baking Book by Itamar Srulovich and Sarit Packer. Honey & Co cakes - from blueberry, hazelnut and ricotta to courgette and golden raisin - are not light on sugar, but to my mind they taste better than anyone else's. * Guardian, best cookbooks 2015 *My first-choice restaurant for any special occasion is Honey & Co and Honey & Co: The Baking Book by Sarit Packer and Itamar Srulovich allows you to (or try to) recreate the Middle Eastern magic at home with recipes including lamb and spinach pastries and lemon, blueberry and cream cheese squares. * Daily Express *Srulovich and Packer were one of the star turns at this year's Ballymaloe Litfest and this is crammed with recipes from their London restaurant. The Middle Eastern sensibility is still trendy, and these recipes are all crowd-pleasers. Highlights include sticky buns crammed with cherries and pistachios; loaves of rich dough rolled with chocolate, hazelnuts and cinnamon; and crumbly shells of pastry filled with lamb or aubergine. * Sunday Times (Ireland) *Buns for breakfast, pie for lunch and cheesecake for tea: it's always time for something from one of OFM's favourite restaurants. * Observer Food Monthly *The seemingly inexhaustible list of secrets wielded in Itamar Srulovich and Sarit Packer's kitchen is unwrapped here for your home-baking pleasure. * Guardian *Praise for Honey & Co: Food From the Middle East: * . *There is a cheering warmth here, from the quinces on the cover to the self-deprecating stories about running a small business. Above all, I commend this book because my kitchen has never smelt as good when cooking from it. * Food Book of the Year - The Sunday Times *The lure of this book about an eatery is clear: the owners' stories that reflect on love, immigration and identity are endearing and universal, and the book is heavily seasoned with them... If you love Honey & Co, this book is a must-read. * Time Out, Cookbook of the Week *Middle Eastern Cooking at its most inspiring. Brilliantly useful and exquisitely designed. * BBC Good Food Magazine *The recipes are as reliable, imaginative and savoury as you'd hope from Ottolenghi alumni, but the other big draw is the narrative. The couple met in a kitchen, and haven't stopped sharing their favourite foods with each other and the people around them ever since. * Guardian *The modest subtitle of Honey & Co's debut cookbook, Food from the Middle East, published this month, doesn't begin to capture the richness and variety of the recipes - sardines cured in vine leaves, oxtail sofrito, their celebrated feta and honey cheesecake. But it's not just about the superb dishes: the book also captures a sense of place, bottling the personality of the tiny, 10-table restaurant on London's Warren Street that won last year's Observer Food Monthly award for best newcomer. -- Killian Fox * Observer Food Monthly *

Her father left for the other side of the country. Her mother disappeared into herself.But when Meredith discovered the rusted old bus where her grandpa kept bees, her world changed forever.Family duty. Compassion and sacrifice. Unconditional love.

The Honey Bus is all these things and more – so if you’ve ever been a lonely child, or want the world to become a kinder place, here is your book.’ Laline Paull, author of The Bees ‘A book of revelations, clear-eyed, eloquent and so touching… a wise, touching, beautiful reminiscence – and a cry for help for nature’s wonder workers.’ SAGA Magazine ‘Filled with hope, grace, beauty, and wisdom, this book is like warm honey in the sunshine. It beautifully illustrates how nature – even honeybees – can teach and heal us, if only we open our minds and hearts.
