<< Turmeric really isn't a substitute for saffron; saffron has quite a
strong taste even in small amounts, which turmeric doesn't. If you end up
in this position again and can't find saffron at a reasonable price, talk
to us--we're not that far from you. I don't know of any recipes using
turmeric in Europe pre-1600. >>
However, a period substitution for saffron IS dried calendula flowers. They
were commonly grown in European herb gardens.
