Jessamine Eden
We've come to Jessamine Eden with our neighbors Lorna & Noel, our Irish neighbors at the Seaglass place. It is in the Grand Etang Valley, a multi acre apiary/ nursery. Jessamine Eden won the UK NHS Best Honey of 2015...in the world! So nearly every dish has some touch of this liquid gold. There is also beautiful grounds, where the nursery started from chaotic bush just six or seven years ago! Jerry took us on a hike of the grounds while Val prepared lunch. We were seated in a what appeared to be a long greenhouse in the shade nestled next to a bubbling stream just 20 feet away. Lunch started with 3rd*** season honey with lemongrass and nettles tea.

Avocado, goat cheese salad Main course is fish baked in a banana leaf ...
