The two had recently met at a literary convention, where El-Mohtar was a guest and Sucher was catering. One day at a time, Amal El-Mohtar tasted these honey samples, and wrote a piece for each one. Thus—The Honey Month. It is based on a very simple idea and on a simple gift. A friend of El-Mohtar’s gave her a gift of some samples of different types of honey. With this gift she wrote a set of tasting notes and reflections for each honey; 28 in all.
