  Absolutely delicious. Fennel and cauliflower mix is superb. Try adding just a spoonful of Pernod/Pastis to the wine to really bring out the flavours of the fennel.

  Really quite bland, too boring to bother doing again.

  bland bland bland strangely, the fennel and cauliflower cancels each other out. made this last night, nice idea to have fennel in risotto and was very excited to try this recipe, but.. if you close yours and eat this there is no way i could say there is fennel in the risotto. in fact, i really could hardly taste the cauliflower either. i like dishes with subtlety of flavour, but this was simply bland in my opinion. the dish also looks a bit boring too, but that's not that important for me.. for the record, i am currently in Switzerland where fennel and cauliflower here is in season and with amazing flavor - regretfully this dish wasted them, i'd have to say. bon appetite! christopher
