If you love saffron, you need to read this.,
This review is from: The Essential Saffron Companion (Paperback)
I've always been fascinated with the aroma and taste of saffron. This book is both a lesson on the rich history of saffron and a collection of very balanced recipes that showcase saffron in some very interesting ways. I've been using saffron for years the wrong way. Just one recipe from this book has re-focused my love for this spice. My wife and I purchased a great amount of saffron in La Mancha, Spain last year. This book will guarantee our enjoyment of it. Highly recommended!

The Infamous Mellow Yellow - Crocus Saffron Plant,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Essential Saffron Companion (Paperback)
The Essential Saffron Companion by John Humphries is the most accurate and comprehensive book ever written about the "Mellow Yellow" plant (Crocus Sativus). It is packed with historical points about the bulb to the characteristics of the plant once bloomed. All good details and very accurate. Also, the recipes are top-notch castillian cooking. Very much authentic of the European Spanish-style cooking. Bravo, JH!

essential ? confusing !,
By
This review is from: The Essential Saffron Companion (Paperback)
I bought this book for its specific instructions on how to use saffron - infusions - which I think are interesting. But many of the recipes for entrees and side dishes seem difficult and confusing as written, or outright wrong. For example, in Devonshire Saffron Cake, the author states that either heavy cream or butter can be substituted for the original clotted cream.
