( http://www.saffron.com/cons_guide.html) It is the absolute finest stuff and I think it's inexpensive esp. compared to the useless 3rd rate saffron we buy at the grocery. I gave this to my sis. who lives in Paris (reads...COOKING SNOB) and she is in saffron heaven.
Ooops. I'm talking about food again. |
Thanks for the link! Agreed, the stuff at grocery stores is c**p.
My guy (
http://www.worldspice.com/) has been out for a couple weeks, and I'm aching for a fix! These folks (usually) have any spice you would want and are worth stopping by if you are in Seattle and near the Pike Place Market. It is just a couple blocks from where I work, so it is pretty easy to stop by and see what's new.
They also happen to be just down the street from "The Spanish Table" (
http://www.spanishtable.com/)...for the rest of your paella accoutrements!
If you prefer to be served, here is a place to stop by when visiting Seattle:
