I'm not a huge fan of saffron, but this recipe changed my mind. The flavor is subtle and delicate.

The rice didn't turn out as fluffy as I hoped. I think I overcooked it.

The saffron rice was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add more spices next time.

I've tried many saffron rice recipes, but this one is by far the best. The secret is in the toasting of the saffron threads. It really brings out the flavor.

This saffron rice turned out amazing! The flavor was rich and aromatic, and the texture was perfectly fluffy. I'll definitely be making this again.
