Risotto always seemed like a very intimidating dish to make. After all, I first heard about it from Kitchen Nightmares and/or Hell's Kitchen where Chef Ramsay is constantly yelling at chef's, 'you can't even make a risotto!' It sounded like a simple- for elegant and trained chefs only- type of dish. Nevertheless, a few months ago I bought arborio rice with an amateur cook's dream of making this dish at home.
