What is purple in the earth, red in the market and yellow on the table? (Iranian riddle)




I love cooking - all the women and most of the men in our family are good cooks. We use any excuse to get together and eat. I love experimenting with world cuisines and one of my passions is middle-eastern food.

Saffron is an amazing ingredient, famous in Paella. It gives a wonderful colour and the taste...
It is the world's most expensive spice and even if you don't use it in cooking, it is lovely just to have some in a jar - the scent is a magical mixture of honey and earth and the exotic East!
