The colder autumn weather is coming (I love Autumn) which makes it the perfect time to resurrect my risotto making skills (although I do enjoy the odd risotto in the summer too).

Everyone in this house loves risotto and I actually find the stirring therapeutic (maybe not on a weeknight though!). I like to keep the flavours simple for the kiddies but if you want to add more herbs or different cheeses (blue?) then go right ahead.
