Risotto, start to finish!

Thank you Dina and Melissa for the amazing cookbook, The Art of Simple Food by Alice Waters of Chez Panisse.
The risotto recipe is SO simple and absolutely amazing! I always do vegetarian (broth) with mushroom and either peas or asparagus. Oli says it's as good as the staple upper east side restaurant where he used to order it regularly! What a compliment (to me, not the unnamed fancy restaurant)!!
I make it about once a month and it makes two HEARTY meals for two. YUM.
Anyway, felt like sharing. Wish you could all be here to actually share it with me...
Someday we'll do that!
