Norfolk saffron grower Dr Sally Francis tells the extraordinary story of saffron in England. |
Sally Francis describes the origins of saffron, how's it's cultivated and the saffron grower's calendar. There's an explanation of how its chemistry makes it special, and its uses in medicine, as a dye and as one of the most highly prized spices.
Tempting recipes include Haricots à la Grecque, Saffron Risotto, Norfolk Saffron Shortcake and Saffron Dingers.
"If you want to delve deeper, I recommend Sally Francis's Saffron. Francis is one of only two UK saffron producers and her book traces its history, as well as providing some recipes by fellow Norfolk dwellers including Tim Kinnaird's moorish gold, saffron and cardamom macarons." Catherine Phipps, The Guardian's Cookbooks of the Year

We eat so many of these beautiful fresh crisp nuts. The best Brazil nuts we have ever eaten
I bought bags for all my family and we all loved the fact of being able to support the indigenous people directly. We hadn't expected to also rave about these nuts being the freshest and most delicious Brazil nuts we've ever eaten as well! Thank you for sharing this wonderful bounty from the Amazon people - directly to us in the UK!
I bought a smal jar at the local organic market and was very surprised and instant hooked! Deep rich taste and nice colouring too. We’ve been secretly smearing it on our savory sandwiches, our son of 6 loves it too :). Works perfectly with sourdough!! Hope you’ll be delivering to the NL…?
Great nutty flavour and colouring. Fantastic with chicken or fish
These black beans are incredibly creamy and full of flavour - easily the best dried black beans I’ve ever had. They cooked to perfection in just an hour, with not a single tough or undercooked bean in the pot. Unlike other brands I’ve tried, these French-grown beans from Hodmedod’s are clearly fresh, not something that’s been languishing in a warehouse for years. If this level of quality holds across the rest of the new Ferm des 3 Rois range, I’ll be a regular customer. If it remains consistent over time, I’ll keep coming back for more.
