Risotto making should be a pleasurable experience. Whilst it does require time and attention, it doesn’t need to drag you away from the party for hours on end.
The trick with risotto is to keep it warm: don’t boil it, don’t try to rush it and above all, keep the flavours simple. Remember that risotto is like good pasta – when it’s ready, it’s ready and waits for no man. Have the table prepared, the guests mingling and this is guaranteed to quickly become a signature dish.
