- GoofsManuel 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.

Featured review
"Proof in the Pudding" another all-time favorite
Season 10 features two of my all-time favorite episodes of this long-running detective series. Earlier, we had "Love and Hate in Cabot Cove" and now we come to "Proof in the Pudding". The setting alternating between a new restaurant and the fast-paced world of a television studio makes this a must-watch.
I'm puzzled by the low ratings for "Proof in the Pudding". Other reviewers and raters must not be as taken with this episode as I am. I'm so enamored with this episode, I can quote long stretches of dialogue by heart.
The supporting cast does a wonderful job and there are enough differences in personality that first-time viewers will have a challenging time figuring out the murderer and how it was done. I especially love the relationship that evolves between Detective McKenzie and Jessica Fletcher.
If you can, try to find the DVD version of "Proof in the Pudding". The syndicated versions on both HMM and Cozi TV cut out some of the greatest parts which aren't necessarily crucial to the plot but are memorable nonetheless, including toward the end after the murderer has been revealed and taken away; there's a great short scene of only five or six seconds between McKenzie and Jessica Fletcher that is never shown on TV anymore. Or, come to my house. I'll be glad to watch the unedited version of "Proof in the Pudding" anytime.
