I apologize to everyone because I should have been clearer. I was just asking about recipes people hadn't made before. But I don't think it matters whether you're making new recipes you haven't tried before or experimenting with old ones you haven't tried before, it comes to the same thing in the end. And if you're getting paid to make new recipes like CWS, you're doing what the rest of us are doing, just on a larger scale. Same difference.
I'm a big fan of easier and cheaper, but now that I broke the bank with all those spices that stare at me accusingly every time I walk into the kitchen, I look for recipes that need lots of "things" in them, but only as long as I have them, can afford to buy them if I don't, and will use them again.
Unfortunately, saffron's out.
Saffron doesn't have to be out. Go to Trader Joe's. I got a small bottle (has a cork in the top) for a VERY good price. A small bottle goes a long way when all you need are several strands. Don't cheat yourself out of saffron. You can get Trader Joe foods on Amazon now. Not sure if they have saffron.
