​​Cooking with Saffron

I’m “just a plain cook” exactly as my darling Mum used to describe her cooking. Nonetheless, I enjoy cooking with Saffron. It gives a beautiful flavour, colour and aroma when cooking food; without a lot of effort on my part as the cook.

​You can access the over 30 recipes made by us at Eladnelle Farm, via these photos below.

It's preferable to soak your saffron 24-hours in advance in a few mls of tepid water, but if you don’t and want to cook with saffron on an impulse, just make sure you grind the saffron strands prior to adding them to what you are cooking.

Saffron should be kept in an airtight container, that doesn't allow light in and which has an environment that has a relatively consistent temperature; if kept under these conditions Saffron should last for several years.

We hope you will enjoy your experience with Saffron, I know we do.
