At the end of last year, Chez Pim organized the second annual Menu for Hope, a global raffle to raise money for the United Nations World Food Program. Food bloggers and generous foodies around the planet offered up mouthwatering prizes, and I was the lucky winner of three gorgeous jars of honey and a gooey honeycomb from Malfroy's Gold in Australia. This honey is made from eucalyptus and has a distinctive caramel flavor. In one word: addictive.
Not only did I have the pleasure of striking up an e-friendship with the owner, Tim, as we figured out how to get that honey from New South Wales to L.A., but I found many new uses for honey. Among my favorites:- Drizzle thin slices of tart apple with honey and sea salt.
- Drizzle honey and sea salt on vanilla ice cream.
- Slice a baguette and drizzle the slices with Pasolivo orange olive oil and honey. This is incredible in and of itself, but you can also top it with a sliver of Manchego like my sis did at our last dinner party, to give it another layer of flavor.
- I also recommend trying this Butternut Squash Bruschetta, which owes its unique flavor to honey, chili flakes and walnut oil.

Ooh I am jealous. I simply adore honey. Do you know what kind of Eucalyptus it was?
And thank you for your donation to our Menu for Hope.
cheers,
Pim
Hi Pim,
It was a pleasure to be involved, even in such a tiny way, in your great cause. I believe the eucalyptus is Yellow Box and Red Stringybark.
Best,
Kim
