I was just about to say the same as both of these clever ladies! Just be careful with turmeric as it can be a bit bitey and overpowering... so make sure its like a tiny pinch. In reality saffron isn't that exciting for how much it costs (maybe its just me) I always saw saffron as a spice of wealth... a stature thing (kinda like gold leaf) really to me its just expensive food colouring LOL! But having said that I do have strands of it in my cupboard for recipes that call for it, but its not necessary
