It's a great recipe which I adapted; know this video and comments occur in 2014, don't care what his driven schedule was driving him to do; by his own admission sleeping 4 hrs or less a night which would make anyone look hung over; feel bad getting drawn into a personal discussion of this low caliber but because someone is well=known everyone thinks they own them and are free to point out their feet of clay. 4 yrs later he's in great shape to put an end to all this quasi-trolling. You guys were here to making risotto, e vero? Could have fooled me.

Personal tip: you don't have to have _hot_ stock! I saw another pro chef just using it at room temperature. I WAS BLOWN AWAY! All those times I was wasting another pot, time and electricity warming up the risotto stock! UGH! I searched online and it confirmed that hot broth is not necessary, there were even people saying they were using it straight outta Compt. uh, of the fridge! I didn't see any difference in taste with cold, lukewarm or hot stock! The end.

Have followed the guidance closer this time and would like to draw attention of food-tubers on the vermouth. Jamie is not using any vermouth but white Noilly Prat. It is very dry vermouth. I had missed that and used a cheaper and sweeter vermouth which, although it generated conversations and surely unforgettable memories amongst the guest, which I would not recommend. Dry white wine, as in a more classical version, remains less controversial.

Risotto looks a bit soupy for my taste. A handful of this and that? I measure and do not apologize for it. My risotto comes out great every time. I check to see when my rice is done 3/4 the way through cooking. The mushrooms and herbs look great and I would definitely use more cheese although too much is really not good, it makes the rice gooey. A little gives it great flavor. : )

Have tried the recipe tonight, with several twist. I used Bulgur instead of rice and, as I had no celeri, used mashed ginger. Taste was still very good, although it was less 'creamy' than jamie's version. I have read the comments about the lemon, I do disagree with them, the lemon brings a touch of freshness and acidity is not perceptible at all. Thanks for educating us Jamie.

Tricky thing about Risotto is missing that little step of sort of frying the rice without wine or stock for a bit. Seriously, I didn t do it twice and it ended up taking like 3 or 4 parts stock to the rice before it stopped being almost crunchy, like not even al dente, just raw. Feels like some of these videos kinda skim over that topic.

I'm trying to find that almond/stale bread risotto garnish Jamie used in one episode where he was cooking for a girl who needed help on a date she had planned. Can anyone point me to the episode please as I want to try the garnish Jamie recommended. TIA

Delicious - I did the same thing with mixed dried mushrooms - I used white wine--vermouth is something to consider. the mushroom mixture at the end is different. I combined mine in with the risotto. gonna try your way Jamie!

looks delicious, the only thing i disagree is topping it with butter while plating, nobody wants to see that much tangible fat on their plate (despite even more going in. just a suggestion for anyone who will try it at home.
