| 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

I love farro and haven't been able to find it in any local shops so I'm delighted to have found an online source. I've ordered it a couple of times so far and it's worked really well in all the recipes I've tried, so I'll definitely keep ordering it. Thanks, Hodmedod's!
Very nice
Bought on a whim and now waiting frosty weather to have some fun.
I got the whole suite of beans a few months ago and so far these have been my favourite. Lovely and creamy. And rather cute to boot!
I've spent years looking for a worthwhile healthy alternative to rice both in Europe and Asia. All the time it was lurking in East Anglia at Hodmedods waiting to be discovered. It's now a cupboard staple. More flavour than commercial rice, more fibre, too. Emmer and lentils! Who knew! Great stuff!
