Our Books

In 2024 we celebrate 10 years of our first book, Honey & Co: Food From the Middle East, with a new anniversary edition. This book is full of our most popular seasonal recipes from the restaurant. This is our food, this is our restaurant – fresh fruit and vegetables, wild honey, big bunches of herbs, crunchy salads, smoky lamb, bread straight from the oven, old-fashioned stews, Middle Eastern traditions, falafel, dips, and plenty of tahini on everything. Squeeze in, grab a chair, ignore or enjoy the noise, the buzz and tuck in. Leave room for dessert – cheesecake or a marzipan cookie with a Turkish coffee. Let us look after you – welcome to Honey & Co.

Honey & Co: The Baking Book follows a day in the life of the restaurant. Our day is marked by what comes out of the pastry section, and there’s always something good on the way: sticky buns full of cherries and pistachios in the morning; a loaf of rich dough rolled with chocolate, hazelnuts and cinnamon that comes out of the oven fresh for elevenses. Lunch is a crisp, crumbly shell of pastry filled with spiced lamb or burnt aubergine, and at teatime there are cookies, cheesecakes, fruit cakes – so many cakes that it’s hard to choose one. After dinner there might be poached peaches with roses or something more traditional – sweet and salty Knafe drenched in orange blossom syrup. There’s something sweet, something in the oven for everyone, all day long – welcome to Honey & Co.

Our new book CHASING SMOKE: COOKING OVER FIRE AROUND THE LEVANT is out now!

We’re back with more delicious dishes from the Middle East, and this time our focus is firmly on the grill.

Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. Where there’s fire, there’s delicious food to share, and friendships and memories to make. 

From the countryside of Jordan to the back streets of Cairo we’ve been following a smoke trail, answering the ancient call of the hot coals, chasing down the delicious, proud traditions of cooking over fire around the Middle East – eating sweet roasted chestnut at roadside stalls in Adana, grilling sardines on Greek beaches, exploring the alleyway markets of Amman and Acre – burning our fingers turning meat and bread, always looking for the friendliest people, the fiercest fires and the tastiest ideas to bring back to our kitchen, our restaurants, and to this book.

Honey & Co: At Home is all about the food we cook in our own kitchen and our life outside of work, whatever there is of it…We’ve tried to make the recipes quick and simple – we hope they will soon become staple recipes that you, friends and family will revisit again and again.
The book is organised into chapters For Us Two, For Friends, For the Weekend, For a Crowd and The Kitchen. Recipes include some of our favourites from our weekly Financial Times column, some of our true home staples and a few of our most requested dishes.
