Praise for The Asheville Bee Charmer Cookbook:
“An inspiration. The Asheville Bee Charmer Cookbook takes the work
of Mother Nature and exposes how great ingredients are the only
route to great food. Cooks of every level will leave the sugar in
their cupboards and reach for their new favorite local varietal
instead.” —Chris Pandel, chef/partner, Balena and Swift & Sons
“One of the best cookbooks I have seen in many years. Each recipe
brings to mind bees buzzing from flower to flower, hard at work for
all of us. I will refer to this lovely cookbook for a long time to
come.” —Pierre Pollin, former chef/proprietor, Le Titi de Paris,
and 2017 inductee, Chicago Culinary Hall of Fame
“A lovely testimonial to the significance of the honeybee. With
these delicious, approachable recipes, being good stewards of the
land has never tasted so sweet.” —Laurell Sims, urban farmer,
beekeeper, and Slow Food Chicago board member
“As a craft cidery in Bee/Beer City, USA, we are extremely
fortunate to have such a pure source of honey from our local Bee
Charmers to enhance our cider. This book helps readers source and
use that same great honey in their own homes.” —Jeff Anderson, the
award-winning Urban Orchard Cider Co.
“A beautiful tribute to one of our most overlooked and
underappreciated ingredients. From breakfast pastries to exotic
marinades to unexpected desserts, Carrie Schloss explores the many
sides of honey.” —Ashlee Aubin, chef/partner, Salero
“The Asheville Bee Charmer Cookbook is just what its title, and the
store from which it draws its inspiration, suggests—a charm. 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. An added bonus for the
modern cook is the table that shows which recipes are dairy free,
gluten free, and vegetarian. The variety of the honey-based recipes
is beautifully matched to the range of honey blends and varietals
available at the shop itself.” —Peggy Ryan, chef/instructor,
Kendall College
