About this Book

Italy's most famous rice dish is delicious, versatile, economical -- and can take just 20 minutes to prepare. What better, then, for a quick weekday supper dish or a dinner party than a bowl of Arugula and Blue Cheese Risotto or Risotto with Seven Wild Herbs? Ursula Ferrigno, a leading authority on Italian cuisine, shares the secret of making the perfect risotto: the right rice, the best stock, flavoring, and ingredients. She then goes on to present 30 authentic vegetarian risotto recipes in three simple chapters: Cheese, Beans, and Vegetables.
