Good Morning!!
Well... I found a short description about risotto in order to describe you this food:

8) "Risotto is a traditional Italian dish made with rice. It represents one of the noblest and at the same time one of the most common ways of cooking rice in Italy. It originated in Northwestern Italy, specifically Eastern Piedmont and Western Lombardy, where rice paddies are abundant. It is one of the pillars of Milanese cuisine.

When risotto is cooked, the dry rice is always fried briefly in oil before the broth is added. Other dishes exist that are similar, but they should not be called "risotto" if the rice is not toasted. Recipes include "Risotto alla Milanese," made with chicken or beef stock and saffron, which is traditionally served with osso buco (a stew made from veal bones) and "Risotto al Barolo," made with fine red wine, but thousands of variations exist, both with vegetables and meat, as well as risottos made with various other wines, cheeses, or even fruits. Risotto Negro is a specialty of the Veneto region, made with cuttlefish cooked with their ink-sacs." :P

So, what do you think about it?
I think it's wonderful and delicious...

Hahaha the same would happen to me... I'm a disaster in the kitchen... Maybe we could learn together :D All we need is practice.

You're right...I think Im going to cook rositto for tomorrow's lunch...maybe my family love it. (and maybe after that go to hospital )

fortminor and dixie.. maybe i can cook for you.. my mom taught me how to cook it as rice is a staple food here in the philippines (risotto is best cooked with arborio rice,so mom has to buy this kind of rice from the supermarket).. her specialty is seafood risotto..m not sure but.. you can do it with meat or prawn ..right funnygirl?
