  Make this for a lunch for a family of 4. Served with roasted peppers and tomatoes in olive oil & balsamic on the side as well as fresh crusty bread which was really tasty. Did not include the lemon and you would need to up the ingredients if serving for a dinner. This is the first risotto I have ever made and will be doing it again.

  Fantastically easy for such a good result. Followed the recipe to the letter (except the soft cheese) and wouldn't change a thing.

  Delicious, and much easier than slowly spooning stock into the rice. I replaced the soft cheese with grated parmesan and a knob of butter.

  Made this tonight for the kids, added mushrooms and left out the lemon. Nice and comforting.

  This was okay. As some have mentioned above, don't think quantities are enough for 4 people. I think it is something I would make again if I had the ingredients to hand, but don't think I would make a specific shopping trip in order to be able to make it.

  Delicious - I made with diced ham, added garlic, used lemon juice instead of zest. Made with 3/4 of quantities which was plenty for 2 adults and one junior. Will use as a base risotto for other ingredients eg chicken, salmon, prawns.

  Thought this was fantastic, we love risotto but it's such a pain with all the stirring, this is so easy! Used garlic and chive Phili and it gave it a great extra flavour

  This was so easy to make and the result was fantastic! I used pancetta and added a little garlic but kept everything else the same. My husband was very impressed, we'll definitely be having this again very soon!

  I cooked this with 2 onions instead of leeks and fish mix, which included mussels, prawns and calamari and my other half thought it was totally amazing. It's so easy. Will definitely be making again!!

  Great tasting risotto, BUT it definately does not serve 4 people as a main meal, more like 2! I also served crusty bread with it and I am glad I did due to portion size! I also had to use extra stock (quarter pint) when I added the peas which took 5 mins extra to cook . All in all my whole family loved this, including the kids, but as I said we needed more of it! Next time I will double the amount of rice and use 8 rashers of bacon! Really creamy!

  No leeks or risotto rice to hand this time, so used onions and long grain rice instead. Also used up smoked cooked gammon joint instead of bacon and the result was still delicious - definitely helped by really good home made chicken stock.

  I had a day off work and promised my Girlfriend I would cook, about an hour before she came home I hadnt started anything. I found this recipe online looking for quick one pot recipes and cooked it for her. It was the first time I had attempted a Risotto and it turned out perfectly. I followed the recipe completely and I added some frozen prawns at the same time as the bacon. She said it was the best thing I had ever cooked. We will be having this again very soon.
