As Latinos we have a sheer passion for food and in recent years the creations of many Latino chefs have become the talk of gourmet writers and food TV shows and while their specialties vary, they all agree on the one staple that makes for mouth-watering cuisine: honey!

In collaboration with The National Honey Board, chefs Aarón Sánchez, John Rivera Sedlar and Michelle Bernstein will develop menus using 100% pure honey in each dish.

Known for their participation in America’s most popular cooking show, Bernstein, Sánchez and Rivera Sedlar, are the masterminds behind the culinary creations that satisfy critics and diners alike. The honey-infused menu created by each chef consists of dishes that are fun to cook, with easy-to-make tapas to sophisticated main courses that will impress anyone.

Chef Sanchez’s main course dishes include Salmon with Honey, Aji Amarillo and Mustard Glaze or Seared Duck Breast with Honey, Chipotle and Lime Salsa.  The savory combination of honey and spices are sure to bring excitement to the dinner table.

Chef Rivera-Sedlar’s fusion of Spanish influences and the American Southwest with dishes that include Blue Corn Quesadilla of Goat Cheese with Spanish Chorizo and Habanero-infused Honey. Chef Rivera has traveled extensively throughout the Ibero-Latin world, and many of the tapas he features in his honey-infused menu can be captured easily in your kitchen thanks to his careful selection of ingredients that blend together with delicious results.

A meal is not a meal without dessert, so ending this gourmet feast is Chef Bernstein’s Fig and Honey Clafouti with Hazelnuts and Brown Butter Ice Cream.  There are few better earthly ways to end a meal than with this heavenly honey dessert.
