    This was really easy to make and delicious. Even my teenage son who hates leeks absolutely loved it.

    It's the second time I've made this now - it's wonderful. Perfect for a Friday evening when you want a really tasty, comforting dinner but don't want to spend hours slaving over a hot stove or lots of preparation work. Really wonderfully tasty, even DF loves it and he "hates" rice! Mmmm - a sneaky frequent entry in the monthly recipe rotation!

    Parmesan is not vegetarian... Contains renet. BBC Good Food should sort this out, a lot of recipes are labelled vegetarian when they contain ingredients that are not suitable for vegetarians.

    Very nice, needs constant attention as most risottos, but worth it. Easily doubled, without need to double butter and oil.

    With regard to recipe not being suitable for vegetarians, you can use a vegetarian Parmesan style cheese, such as Twineham Grange, which I think is available in most supermarkets. I think that Good Food would take it for granted that as a vegetarian you would consider this, as well as making sure the wine you use is also suitable for vegetarians...

    Just cooked this tonight using some fresh leeks from our allotment. Fantastic and simple recipe, goes well with some buttered french bread. Thanks!
