Honey is the perfect companion for the budding home cook and for the professional chef. There’s no one better to show off the versatility and vitality of honey than Paolo Pancotti, Head Chef at Napier’s popular Milk and Honey restaurant.

We gave Paolo a challenge: Cook up a storm, no holds barred, and only one rule, use honey as a feature in every recipe. What he created demonstrates the flexibility of honey as an ingredient. From dinner to dessert, honey is the ideal cooks’ companion.

From macadamian crusted fish to mouth watering honey and banana muffins - each one of these recipes are not only delicious, they are very simple and easy, and take no time at all to make.

Try Paolo’s recipes at home using your favourite Arataki varieties, or for the real connoisseur try Honey for Chefs from Arataki, in a full range of delicious flavours.
