My question is this, could I just crush up that whole bag and leave it in powder form to scoop out measurements of what I need? Or would that somehow ruin the flavor of the saffron overtime?

Similar to my other cauliflower soups, but with ras el hanout as the main seasoning (this is the "Moroccan" in the recipe...I don't know if this is actually eaten in Morocco), and topped with sauteed mushrooms. I used baby bellas, but any mushroom should work. Also, note that I use a pressure...

I've been experimenting with parsnips and attempting to create something a little different with an Autumnal feel. This is a dish packed with Autumn flavours and colours; sweet earthy parsnips meet musky, spicy mushrooms with a bittersweet note of saffron. But have I got the balance of...

This is a Greek/Turkish style dish. Cinnamon is the key to the taste here. Its a spice I often forget about and only remember when making apple pies. But the Greeks know that cinnamon works brilliantly with meat. I served this with a Greek salad incorporating salty Feta cheese and black olives...
