I forgot to add the butter and cheese but it didn't need it. This was just fabulous! We had it as a main course and it was the best dinner I've made in weeks. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a warm, comforting dinner.

really good recipe!! it was my first ever risotto & it turned out to be pretty tasty!! make these minor adjustments to make it perfect : 1. completely skip cream. it makes the risotto too heavy. 2. you dont have to add all 5 cups of broth. use common sense; when the rice tastes right, you should stop adding broth.

A good recipe overall. Use half the cream. The 5 cups of broth are more of a maximum amount you will need - use common sense and stop adding broth when the rice is cooked. I used chicken broth instead and added chicken.

Loved this recipe! Only the 2nd time I've tried to make risotto and very happy with the results (as were my friends). I substituted chicken broth and added more mushrooms than called for. Didn't have a problem with the amount of broth listed, but it did take a little longer to cook than I expected. I would definitely recommend this.

I made this for a dinner party, and it makes way more than four servings! All of it was eaten, though, and everyone thought I was magic or something. I did used skim milk and fat free half and half instead of whole milk and heavy cream, and it was plenty rich and creamy. Definitely worth the effort if you want to impress a date or a dinner party!

Good risotto, could use more herbs for more flavour.

Excellent rice dish. Must mention that you must use Arborio rice in order to achieve maximum creaminess! I substituted chicken instead of vegetable broth and omitted the celery. My friends raved all the same.

Realy yummy. I added chicken as well, as I find the texture can be a little 'gluggy' otherwise. Also, you will find that a little goes a long way - don't serve very generous portions, or you will be throwing a lot away!

absolutely delicious - I didn't have cream so I didn't bother, but it didn't need it, still was really creamy. took forever to cook but was worth it. I added dried rosemary and fresh minced garlic.

Too creamy and cheesy. Eliminate the parmesan, replace the cream with milk. Also, there was too much broth called for.

The rice tasted great, but the recipe used way too much water for the 1 cup of rice it calls for. We got rice soup! With some modifications, I would probably make it again.

This dish was pretty good...but since I am a vegan, I subsituted the milk with plain soy milk. I omitted the half-and half, and used vegan margarine in place of the butter that was called for. My 4 year old daughter was not too crazy about this dish though. However, it was pretty tasty, overall.

What a delicious tasting risotto!! I substituted minced garlic, dried parsley and used skim milk. Made no difference to the taste. Directions incomplete. Did not tell you how or when to add the chicken broth. However, as I had made risotto before I knew to add it, one cup at a time. Would highly recommend this dish.
