Trail of good honey, real honey, from actual bees, not that supermarket impostor which can be labeled honey and still contain corn syrup, gah.

However we can read labels and buy only the very good stuff with the flavor.

Well, you could have guessed from its condition that it's well used. Food stuff on most pages, notes everywhere. Spine fell off years ago and is now a bookmark. Pancake recipe from there, and various other simple and good stuff, too. What you might call unpretentious.
Any how-to title that includes BOTH "easy" and "basic" sounds like a winner to me!
