Remind me never to ask you to make a saffron and honey tart.
Don't ever suggest using an industrial sized vat of Yellow #5 for medieval
re-enactment. To do so is incorrect. We concentrate on re-creating to the
best of our ability various recipes. If a recipe calls for saffron, use
it. The Yellow #5 will give you the colour, but not the taste.
I had some beautiful honey and saffron tarts on Saturday (Lorix, recipe
please) and your ention of using tumeric sent shiver up and down my spine.
