Tfaya with lamb tagine and couscous
Morocco has a long history of beekeeping. Tfaya, an accompaniment of honey-spiked caramelised onions, is often added to tagines, but also makes a satisfying meal with just couscous.
Yakgwa
As is the case in many countries, honey in Korea is regarded as a highly nutritious food that cures various ailments. It’s no surprise then that these fried sweets, known as yakgwa, literally mean ‘medicinal confectionery’.
Honey, almond and saffron caramels (sohan asali)
A popular feature on many Persian New Year tables, these caramels are a speciality from Iran’s Isfahan region, known for its honey production. Often used to add an aromatic sweetness to Perisan confectionery, there are many local honey varieties, including orange blossom, thyme and clover, some of which is still collected using traditional beekeeping methods.
