This recipe was a bit too complicated for me, but the results were delicious. I think I would try it again with a simpler sauce.

I had some trouble finding saffron, but I was able to find it at a specialty grocery store. The dish was worth the effort, though. The mussels were delicious and the saffron cream sauce was amazing.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste, but the mussels were cooked perfectly. I think I would try it again with a lighter sauce.
