I have previously posted about certain foods that I am enthusiastic/passionate about – I have written about tea, chicha morada, scones and meringue. Today I’d like to tell you about another food that I’m mad about: honey, that wonderful sweet miracle made by the ever-industrious bees. I don’t think a day goes by without my […]
