Explore the dramatic history of the world's most expensive spice in
Saffron: A Global History. Literally worth their weight in gold,
sunset-red saffron threads are prized internationally. Saffron can
be found in cave art in Mesopotamia, in the frescoes of ancient
Santorini, in the dyed wrappings of Egyptian mummies, in the
saffron-hued robes of Buddhist monks, and in unmistakable dishes
around the world. It has been the catalyst for trade wars, as well
as smuggling schemes, and used in medicine and cosmetics. Complete
with delicious recipes and surprising anecdotes, this book traces
the many paths taken by saffron, revealing the allure of a spice
sought globally by merchants, chefs, artists, scientists, clerics,
traders, warriors and black market smugglers.
