Love risotto, best? Well saffron and veal shanks come to mind and Boston!

As a risotto newbie, I’m working my way through your recipes. Just made this one, but added some prosciutto a few minutes after the onions, some spinach at the very end, and substituted goat cheese for parmesan. Didn’t turn that pretty pink color, but sure does taste good! If repeating, I’d probably cook the prosciutto separate first to make it more crispy. Thanks for always posting things that are inspiring in a flexible way!

Just wanted to chime in that I am with you on his pots and pans. I am coveting them, but I do have a few of his flat end spoons, and those are absolutely brilliant. They are wooden spoons but you can also use them to scrape off all that wonderful fond. Kudos to him for thinking of that.

My daughter loves the red wine risotto–especially with bright green peas in it! Purple and green food is hilarious to a 3 year old.

anna — Ooh, good to know. I’m drawn to the shape of that risotto pan. It seems perfect for so many sauces and smaller dishes. Sigh.

Honeybee — Thank you.

Cathy — No, I hear you. I *once* found a Barolo for like $25 and loved it. I’ve never seen it again. Barolos are almost never less than $50. It’s nuts. Especially when my unpracticed palate loves a $9 Montepulciano almost as much. I mean, mostly as much.

Mara — I didn’t take pictures but my friend Joc did. I did steal her camera a few times and took some of the available-light pictures, like the cupcakes, flowers and some ceremony pics.

We had a seriously crap-tactular meal at Del Posto — the dining room, not the Enoteca — last week (which is on the blog, if you care to feel our pain more directly). The lone highlight of the meal was a screamingly delicious cheese risotto, sans Barolo. But, overall, “sucked” would not be too strong an adjective. Next time back to Babbo for us.

I must say I enjoy Batali–on TV–if only for being one of the few remaining real chefs on the Food Network. However, many congratulations for bastardizing his risotto with the good advice given by Ms. Moskin. But unlike you, I can’t say which wine works better since I haven’t had the “real” thing! (yikes, that sounds suggestive… still, was it good??)

Nothing wrong with your pictures as far as I am concerned. I really like the look of your blog, your stories and your recipes! Yours is one foodblog I read regularly!
