The Sage’s Cabin - Herbs, healing, wisdom, belonging

Saffron has enticed us for many years with its beautiful golden colour and its myriad of apothecary uses.  We always think of it coming from Persia or Spain but did you know that Saffron was once grown in the UK as it was such a highly prized spice?  Join me for this interesting delve into the history of British Saffron with food historian Sam Bilton.
