Since opening Honey & Co., we have published four cookbooks containing our favourite middle eastern recipes to share with you. Signed copies are available through our online shop and in our restaurants.

Chasing Smoke

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.

“There’s not a recipe in the book I don’t want to cook” Nigella Lawson

“The prose is wonderfully evocative, lyrical and precise. As you cook your way through the book…I strongly suspect the authors’ passion for the smoke-infused cooking of the Middle East will become yours, too” The Wall Street Journal, 2021

“If you know what you’re doing and just want amazing food, Sarit Packer and Itamar Srulovich’s Chasing Smoke is divine.” The Sunday Times, 2021

“Full of their trademark warmth and generosity and groaning with gorgeous recipes and delicious travel tales” The Jewish Chronicle, 2021

Honey & Co: Food From the Middle East

Our first book, Honey & Co: Food From the Middle East, 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.

“Sunday Times Food Book of the Year. There is a cheering warmth here, from the quinces on the cover to the self-deprecating stories about running a small business. Above all, I commend this book because my kitchen has never smelt as good when cooking from it.” Sunday Times Food Book of the Year, 2020

“The lure of this book about an eatery is clear: the owners’ stories that reflect on love, immigration and identity are endearing and universal, and the book is heavily seasoned with them… If you love Honey & Co, this book is a must-read.” Time Out Cookbook of the Week, 2020

“Middle Eastern Cooking at its most inspiring. Brilliantly useful and exquisitely designed.” BBC Good Food magazine, 2020

Honey & Co: The Baking Book

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.
