Tourte aux Noix et au Miel

This recipe comes from the hills above Nice where bees have fields of lavender and rosemary for making honey, cows have good pasture, and walnut trees are luxuriant. It is a superb, richly flavored dessert. Make sure when you prepare it that you have crisp walnuts (always keep them in the freezer so that they remain fresh) and flavorful honey. It must be made 3 to 4 hours before it is served to allow the taste to mature. Cut the pie in small slices, since it is quite rich. It will keep well
