| | Risotto like a pro |
 | | A cooking risotto should never be covered, and as Cavallini poetically describes in his risotto masterclass recipe in his new book Cucina Essenziale (Pavilion Books), it should roll like a wave (onda) rippling onto the shore. |
 | | Mushroom risotto, preferably made with a mixture of fresh wild mushrooms, is a wonderful winter warming dish, but if fresh chanterelle, cep and porcini are too difficult to come by or too pricey, try mixing dried porcini or morels reconstituted in warm water for twenty minutes, with more commonplace chestnut mushrooms. |
 | | Probably the worlds most extravagant risotto is cooked by risotto maestro Gualtieri Marchesi at LAlberta hotel in Lombardy: his saffron risotto with gold leaf is legendary. |
