The basic recipe. It’s now winter here in Australia and all the warm comfort foods are making an appearance on the family table. From roasts to casseroles, soups to stews. There is nothing more delicious than finishing up a meal with a warm, tasty rice pudding. Perfect for a cold winter’s night, or simply just…
Category: Risotto
Risotto is firmly a family favourite in our home. I probably make it at least once a fortnight. It’s simple to make but understand why many are scared to give it a go. Once you make it for the first time and pack it full of vegetables, you’ll understand why it’s a great weeknight meal to serve for the family. Here are a few risotto recipes for you to try.
Pumpkin Risotto with Bacon
Yet another delicious risotto! In case you haven’t figured it out, I tend to cook a fair amount of Italian meals. Having an Italian husband means I have to know how to make some of the basics of Italian cooking. Making a risotto is one of them. This pumpkin risotto with bacon is truly delicious…

Bacon & Asparagus Risotto
This bacon & asparagus risotto is easy to make and really full of flavour. This is a great risotto to make during the spring months when asparagus is plentiful. With added wine, it will keep any mum happy while cooking!
Jambalaya
Don’t let the long list of ingredients scare you off – most of those are spice related which gives the complex smokey flavour that is Jambalaya. Despite all the ingredients, making this meal is simpler than making a risotto.
Turnip & Miso Risotto
This recipe combines old with new, and Italian with Japanese. It’s a wacky to bring all these together but it does work! Have this risotto as a side with lamb or eat it as the main meal. If you find yourself with a turnip, give this recipe a go!
Chicken, Leek & Mushroom Risotto
This is definitely our family’s favourite meal of them all. I haven’t yet met someone who hasn’t liked this chicken, leek and mushroom risotto dish when they’ve had it. Don’t be put off by the fact this is a risotto recipe… it’s actually incredibly simple to make!
