    Top it off with fresh Basil & Parmesan for a most flavoursum finish.

    as 0id says - definitely get some fresh parmesan on top once u finish, tis lovely

    bit more expensive but get a block of it & put some shaved parmesan on (u can use a potato peeler to do this) - much better than the grated stuff in a tub

    be patient whilst stirring in your stock too, don't just whack the lot in & stir it around or you'll end up with uncooked rice soup
    if it ain't broke...fix it till it is

    add a bit of nice white wine - not a pale nasty type. something golden with a flavour like vanilla, deep rich body...
    I'm crap at their names - could be a chardonnay but I might be mistaken. Rosemount?...

    get either mid france or southern australian one.

    wine goes very well in rissotto, just a teeny bit - don't add too much though!.

    no wine - try gin. juniper berries mmmmm......
    Please, Don't ask for that one 'as a desktop'...its really not worth wasting your time asking, unless you're able to pay £££?

    Sorry I'm late, risotto is probably made by now eh?

    If anyone wants a good risotto recipe, specially a mushroom one, I'll slap one up on here.
