The National Honey Board (NHB) finished 2021 back in Nashville for a sweet photo shoot with our very talented team consisting of photographer Mark Boughton, food stylist Whitney Kemp, and their excellent crew members. In a continued effort to put forth the best honey-inspired recipes for consumers interested in cooking with honey, the NHB has been partnering with Mark Boughton Photography for a number of years on creating beautiful recipe images that capture the pure inspiration that is all-natural honey.
Honey has a way of truly enhancing even the simplest of dishes with its natural benefits. Whether you’re looking for a little help locking in moisture for succulent grilled meats, balancing out sour, tart, or spicy ingredients in a sauce or cocktail, or simply adding sweetness and beautiful color, this single ingredient spans your entire menu.
With an eye on emerging food trends, the NHB went into this recipe development session with a focus on trending flavors (like hot honey – yum!), popular cooking techniques (one-pan recipes – fewer dishes to wash is always appreciated, right?), and unique ways to enjoy fresh better-for-you ingredients like kale, cucumbers, and bok choy.
From healthful comfort foods like pizza and pasta to nutritious snacks like cucumber chips and kale-topped flatbread bites, these new recipes showcase honey’s versatility in sweet and savory dishes alike with something for everyone.
