Thanks to my job with Extension, we got asked to contribute to an article on beekeeping as part of series on "DIY Food." I thought it was only released as part of their media packet, but they turned it into a magazine story too. It's in the Summer 2010 issue, and it's archived here. He's on page four, in all of his duct-taped glory.
Think you've seen that picture before? You have. Right here. I even got a photo credit!
In the December/January issue of Country Woman magazine (page 64), Food Editor Wendy Stenman issued a call for "Healthy recipes using honey." Recipes can be submitted through the CWWeb site or through postal mail. Contributor's Guidelines give more specific information. If your recipe is published you should receive a complimentary copy of the magazine in which your contribution appears. If I had any honey to give away to inspire you to contribute, I would. But I hope you'll give it a try. I'm considering contributing one myself!
Here's a bit of technical trivia: recipes can't be copyrighted. A list of ingredients constitutes facts, not creative expression. Of course, there are ethical and etiquette issues to consider, and it's always advisable to say "adapted from," "based on," or "inspired by" if you haven't invented the recipe from your own culinary genius. You can read more about this copyright issue here and here.
If you have any recipes you want to share here, please post them in the comments!
Bee Healthy! Keri
