Concocted in the miniature laboratory of the beehive, honey is nevertheless a big business—nearly half a million tons of it are traded globally every year. It has an honored place in history, too, as an ancient Egyptian health and beauty ointment. On top of all that, even some hospitals find it useful! This video reveals the long-standing importance of honey in commerce, culture, and cures, while presenting irresistible recipes that include it. Chef Paul Merrett creates a sumptuous honey sponge pudding and gives some handy tips on storing the sticky golden substance. He shows how to get the right mix of sweet and sour in a marinated pork chop and explains why his honey-coated cereal bars are a great energy booster.
