Serves: 7

2tbsp (30ml) local honey
1 baguette or pain d'epi
This recipe is so easy and yet utterly delicious, perfect for a Christmas party
Wine+ The Camembert in this recipe, calls for a lightly oaked white from Burgundy. We really like Saint-Véran 2014 Les Vignerons des Grandes Vignes from Majestic (£10.99) which is wonderfully fragrant with great acidity to cut through the fat of the cheese. It’s a 2014 vintage so has developed slightly nutty, honeyed notes on the nose. A great example of well-made, delicious Chardonnay.
