I did put a fair bit of effort into this - I can be a bit obsessive at times! I will update the post as per your suggestions. I was wondering whether the wine should be warm or not - none of the books that I looked at suggested it though it makes sense if you are going to bother heating the stock. If anyone else out there has any suggestions - please let me know! Thanks! I did put a fair bit of effort into this – I can be a bit obsessive at times!

Some of the Italian rices can be quite expensive (especially compared to other rice) though I found that they go a long way since only 50-75g is needed per person. Luckily here in Melbourne there is a big Italian community so there is a lot of rice to choose from... Thanks Jo!

Marcella Hazan did say carnaroli was the best. Though it is interesting how the different rices are suited to different types of risotto. I'm pretty keen to make a dessert version next, which it seems arborio is best for. Thanks! Marcella Hazan did say carnaroli was the best.

This post did turn out to be quite epic! I was meant to be doing some university work and the length of this post probably has something to do with my procrastination skills!! Thanks Shelley.
