5 easy risottos from Ursula Ferrigno

Ursula FerrignoUrsula Ferrigno is a leading authority on Italian cooking. Here's she shares her tips on the perfect risotto

Ursula is a talented food writer, cook and teacher who divides her time between London and Italy, where she was born. She has made numerous TV appearances and has written several books including Real Fast Vegetarian Food and Truly Italian, and co-authored the best-selling The Bread Book.

risottoHer latest book, risotto, a collection of 30 delicious risotto recipes gathered from family and friends over years of eating out, should dispel the myth that risotto – Italian comfort food at its very best – is difficult to cook. If you can stir a pot, you can make risotto. It’s a simple, nutritious, economic and filling meal, and perfect for a quick weekday supper or a relaxed dinner with friends. The key is to have the very best stock you can find – make your own or buy the fresh liquid stock sold in tubs in the chiller section of supermarkets – and add it one ladleful at a time, stirring until all the liquid has been absorbed.

Ursula’s risotto recipes:
Rocket and Blue Cheese Risotto:
a deliciously cheesy dish.
Risotto with Asparagus, Peas and Basil:
a risotto for early summer, when asparagus and peas are at their sweetest.
Risotto with Lemon and Mint: quick, easy and ideal for an impromptu meal.
Risotto with Mushrooms, Cognac and Cream: a substantial, comforting classic.
Tomato Risotto: a simple dish, popular with children as well as grown-ups.

Risotto by Ursula Ferrigno is published by Ryland, Peters and Small. To order your copy for the special price of £6.99 including postage and packing (rrp £8.99), telephone Macmillan Direct on 01256 302 699 and quote reference GLR 887.
