Beelicious Recipes With Honey... out now! Due to be launched this Sunday (22nd April) and out in your favourite bookshops NOW; a great new cookery book for young children by author Dolores Keaveney (If I Were a Bee and Jenny, the Little Brown Hen) from Mullingar. I was privileged to receive a preview copy and have an early look at Beelicious Recipes With Honey. It's simply delightful in every way, and very useful both to help develop an active interest in healthy eating (and cooking!) in children and in teaching children of all ages about that wonderful, productive and incredibly necessary insect friend; the honeybee. I thoroughly recommend this lovely new cookery book for children... every household should have one! Here's my review: "There’s no doubt about it. Children love to cook. This beautiful new cookery book is just the thing to introduce cooking into their lives. Colourful and joyful illustrations take the whole family on a journey through the kitchen with simple, clear recipes for scones, pancakes, cakes and smoothies that even the youngest can make and enjoy. All made with honey! This book isn’t only a ‘how-to’, though. It is chocked full of interesting information about one of our worlds’ most valuable creatures; the honey bee. We’ve tried a few of them here at home and I’ve got to tell you, the results are satisfying and delicious! Easy to make, even easier to eat, bright and happy; Beelicious: Recipes With Honey is more than a welcome addition to your cookery book collection. It’s a book that will generate an active interest in nutrition and environment and will promote family togetherness." And here's the link for Dolores' own website where you can learn more about Dolores, her artwork, her books.... everything you need to know! http://www.doloreskeaveney.com/index.php

If I were a bee...........

I have been painting for years and out of the blue one night I awoke with bee poems running through my head, so I got out my pen and paper and I wrote them down. This is something I would never have done, but I must have been inspired to do so. Well in the days that followed I came up with twelve or so and connected them to my paintings and that is how I came to have a childrens book. I submitted it to lots of publishers, to no avail, so I decided to self publish it myself. Belvedere House Gardens and Park launched the book for me last May 2009 and I have to say I am very pleased with the way it has taken off. It is very difficult to distribute a self published book, but I have done a little bit. The libraries were very good and lots of them have taken it. I have also read it in lots of libraries over the year.
