The Little Illustrated Guide to Saffron: From Garden to Plate

For millennia, saffron has been one of the world's most prized spices. It is derived from the red stigmas of a plant called Crocus sativus , it has been at the heart of wars, laws, religious rituals, and above all, iconic dishes.

This 64-page book presents the history of saffron, in addition to gathering all the necessary advice for growing, harvesting, processing and cooking it at home, with the collaboration of Micheline Sylvestre, one of the pioneers of saffron cultivation in Quebec.

With this book, Bernard Lavallée wants to show, once again, that knowing a food inside and out is one of the best ways to maximize the pleasures associated with food.
