Adventurer’s Notes
Reserved for the grandest banquets of the Gold Dragons, this elegant sauce is built on balance rather than richness alone. The honey softens the wine, the saffron brings gentle floral notes, and the Parmesan provides a savoury depth that lingers long after the final bite. It’s proof that extraordinary flavour doesn’t have to be complicated.
Storage
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently over a low heat, stirring continuously.
Merchant’s Tip
For an unforgettable finish, whisk in a small knob of cold butter just before serving. It gives the sauce a beautiful glossy sheen and an even silkier texture worthy of the finest restaurant kitchens.
