A Book of Honey is one of her seminal works and must be on the shelves of anyone who is serious about understanding honey.

There is a chapter on the uses of honey in the kitchen as well as mead-making, medical remedies and cosmetics.Eva describes the history of honey starting from the evolution of plants and bees, then on to the harvesting of honey by humans over the past 10,000 years and its religious significance and beliefs.There is a huge databank of information to facilitate further detailed study, making this an essential read for both teachers and students.

cooking,holiday cooking, Dust jacket notes: "Honey is a splendid natural food that has been enjoyed by people all over the world for many centuries. Its production does not impoverish the environment, but rather enriches it since bees pollinate the flowers they visit. Today more than 800,000 tons of honey are produced annually, but it is only recently that research has shown how bees locate flowers containing nectar and produce honey. A Book of Honey begins by explaining the amazing instinctive behavior of bees and the composition and properties of honey. The author catalogs the uses of honey in the home: as a gastronomic delicacy, described in recipes old and new; as a remedy for ailments as hay fever and hangovers; and as an ingredient in cosmetics. Then Dr. Crane tells the fascinating history of honey from prehistoric times to the present and shows how bees have figured as magical and sacred creatures. Numerous literary references describe the value accorded to bees through the ages as agents of thrift and industry and as subjects of superstition, and how the hive is still considered by some to be a political symbol.
