Goofs
Manuel says that turmeric and saffron have "about the same flavor". This is incorrect. Saffron has a more refined, savory flavor, while turmeric is very pungent and odorous, and it can repeat afterwards, where one can taste it again in a most unpleasant fashion. Saffron is as delicate as it is rare, and for discerning palates. Turmeric is as overpowering a flavor as it is common, and anyone can afford it, therefore it shows up in many dishes. Saffron is dainty and elegant, turmeric is odoriferous and lacking in sophistication. A professionally trained chef like Manuel should know there is no commonality in taste between the two.
