ExcellentMay 03, 2005
By Cosmas Bisticas
"Chez Cosmo"
I have seen risotto prepared in many different ways, unfortunately there is only one way to properly go about the task. Arborio or Carnaroli rice depending on your choice requires a certain method to extract all of the creaminess from the rice while maintaining a good al dente texture. In this book, the author here has done a wonderful job of illustrating the proper way to produce a quality risotto. Nice photos to give you ideas as risotto leaves much room for experimentation once you have mastered the basics.

Beautifully Illustrated, Delicious, Easy RecipesFeb 25, 2001
By Jill Clardy
"So many books, so little time...."
Risotto is a wonderful, filling, nutritious meal and can be simple or sophisticated, served at family meals or dinner parties. (It also makes great left-overs!) Whether you're browsing or planning a menu, this book will fulfill your appetite. Each recipe is beautifully illustrated and presented on a separate page with easy-to-follow instructions. Several of the recipes I've tried have become family favorites. Just serve with a fresh baguette, and some can be considered one-dish meals.

Yummy Book!Jan 07, 2006
By David F. Brenner
This is a really good book about Risotto. The recipes range from light to deliciously heavy and creamy. There are also very basic instructions and tips for the beginning Risotto maker.

 Very solid like most of the seriesOct 31, 2008
By John Gary
Like all of the William Sonoma cookbooks I have (about 10) it is easy to use, informative the recipes work well and are relatively easy to make.
We love Risotto around my house and there several real crowd pleaser here that I make over and over. I also recommend the new version also with more good recipes. It is not a remake of this one but more recipes in a larger format.

A risotto primerSep 05, 2011
By Joanne
"Gotta Eat, Gotta Cook"
Five stars for covering some basic risottos and a lovely pic for every one. However, other books on the topic offer a more expansive index of recipes along with expansive info on the history, geography, and the kinds of risotto rices used and the reasons why...this 'know how' just accentuates the risotto experience which obsessive Foodies like me like to be privvy to. Note too that each recipe is meant to feed a large family or a crowd, using 3 cups uncooked risotto rice, that makes a ton of risotto. I'm cooking for just two, so I have to cut in half or thirds all of the measurements from start to finish, a bit of a bother. Otherwise, this is a no-frills, uncomplicated way to jump in and get your risotto toes wet.
