Honey is a wonderful addition to any meal due to its versatility and pure and natural flavor, and thanks to three-time James Beard House guest Chef Rob Corliss, we have learned the tricks of the trade. Chef Corliss uses honey regularly, so we challenged him to develop new ways to utilize honey in trendy applications. As a result, he found himself feeling incredibly #InspiredByHoney and wanted to do the same for you.
