I have a confession to make. Risotto has always somewhat intimidated me. This exceptional cookbook has removed that intimidation and I can confidently make a delicious risotto now! Every type of rice dish from Italy you can imagine can be found in the pages of this book, down to my favorite Sicilian street food–Arancini!

One of my favorite recipes in this book is No-Stir Stovetop Risotto. My 16 and 18-year-old daughters made this for supper the other night and it turned out wonderfully! Neither had ANY experience making risotto which just shows how incredibly easy this dish is to make! My only caveat on it is that it says 6 servings. Let’s just say they are fairly small servings unless you add a lot of your condementi of choice.

This is far from being just a book on risotto, though. Rice puddings, rice salads, soups, minestrones, frittatas and more fill the pages of this delightful book. If you like rice at all, you will love this book!

I received a copy of this book from Rizzoli International Publications for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
