The Vagabond Life of the World's Most Seductive Herb. Saffron, a rare and evocative spice, has been used throughout history as a medicine, flavouring for food and as a colour dye for clothes. This entertaining and extravagant book, complete with fabulous ancient and modern recipes, outlines Saffron's history. It has been used for thousand's of years, in Cleopatra's palaces and driven crusaders to their deaths. It is still an exotic spice and must be gathered by hand from the fields of Southern Europe. A highly enjoyable page turner in the tradition of the recent bestselling 'Tulip' book - a perfect gift book for all the foodies. Hardback, 240 pages. Size: 141 x 216 mm. Weight: 788g.
