Saffron Recipes / Cooking with Saffron

Saffron has been around for thousands of years. Now, you can find it being used in baked foods, cheeses, confectionaries, curries, liquors, meat dishes, sauces, soups, breads, ice creams, candies, and teas.

Saffron is used both for its bright orange-yellow color and for its strong, intense distinctive flavor and aroma, and is a key ingredient in many famous dishes such as Spanish paella recipe and zarzuela fish stews, French bouillabaisse (seafood dish), Italian rice risotto, Iranian /Persian beef & chicken kabob (with Persian rice), Moroccan tajine, kefta, mqualli, mrouzia, Indian rice pilaf recipe, curry rice and biryanis as well as milk-based sweets and spicy drinks with yogurt base, and English/Swedish and Cornish varieties of saffron buns.

Just use your imagination and be creative when cooking with saffron and you’ll open the door to flavor experiences...you've never had before.
