The author’s first book, Dr Sara’s Honey Potions has proved to be one of the most popular books currently available providing recipes for making toiletries containing honey and beeswax. Sara has now written her second book providing a scientific approach to using bee products in foods and in cosmetics. Many of the recipes have been researched by Sara from a family archive extending over four generations. They are described by her as hearty, home recipes including sweet and savoury honey products, beeswax and honey beauty recipes, and Aunty Bea’s recipes. Using her scientific background, the author explains the anti-oxidative properties of the ingredients, quoting scientific research to validate the efficacy of these tried and tested traditional recipes. This new work contains original recipes and guidance that are not published elsewhere, a useful bibliography listing the research that has been cited, and an Appendix giving conversion tables so that the recipes can be used world-wide.
