Bees are an absolute passion for us at Perch Hill, not just for their pollination and presence in the garden, but for their delicious and nutritious produce too.
The same can be said for award-winning author and fermentation expert, Rachel de Thample, who joins Sarah this week on ‘grow, cook, eat, arrange’ to share delicious honey-inspired recipes from her new book, her pick of the best bee-friendly plants, and much more besides.
In this episode, discover:
- Rachel’s journey to writing her latest book, working at River Cottage and being introduced to Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall
- The incredible and industrious world of bees, and how it takes 12 bees a lifetime to create a single teaspoon of honey
- Bee-friendly herbs that are not just beautiful, but useful to bees and humans alike
- A reimagined view of honey in cooking with Rachel's spectacular recipes
