I have to admit that I have used saffron in a number of dishes, and love
particularly the very subtle taste that the good stuff imparts. I particularly
love Brie Tarts, which are made with saffron and other good things. The
Coronation feast I cooked last fall included several dishes that had saffron as
an ingredient.
