I've never chosen to afford the really expensive Spanish stuff, but the Egyptian stuff is fairly mild ... so maybe you used the "real" saffron?David T.

I’m ashamed, actually, as I’ve only got one of his CDs. I did attend several of his concerts in Edinburgh, however, he was well known there. (A typical dialogue: me: <I>‘I’m Pille from Estonia’</I>. He/She: ‘<I>Oh, isn’t that where Arvo Paaart is from?</I>’)<BR/><BR/>Suzana – thank you!<BR/><BR/>Elizabeth – you’re too kind. Seems that Arvo Pärt actually ate my chocolate cake and not my carrot cake on that day. I must blog about that chocolate cake now, I guess :)<BR/><BR/>Lydia – well, you’re absolutely right :)<BR/><BR/>Tanna – just remember not to overdo with saffron!<BR/><BR/>Shannon – yeasted saffron bread is quite common here (probably a Swedish influence), but I hadn’t used it in other desserts until now either..<BR/><BR/>Aforkfulofspaghetti – well, saffron makes the colour much nicer, so do try it!<BR/><BR/>Spinning Girl – Sulle ka!<BR/><BR/>DaviMack – yes, you can. A bit too much, actually, as I wasn’t sure how much is half a gram. I’ll go easier on saffron next time…Pillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05817049547134774699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-61099958480683879792008-01-20T20:22:00.000+02:002008-01-20T20:22:00.000+02:00But can you really taste the saffron?Sounds wonder...But can you really taste the saffron?<BR/><BR/>Sounds wonderful!David T.
