"I have just been made redundant in the media industry. A huge shock to the system but I've decided to be proactive by teaching myself how to cook. I'm now 25 (with plenty of time on my hands) and am an absolutely terrible cook. However, I followed this recipe word for word and my boyfriend was incredibly impressed. I believe that you just need to focus on the consistency of the rice once added. For me it took 40 mins to prepare (once the ingredients were ready) and I had to keep tasting it to make sure I had the right consistency (at the end there are only a few minutes between almost soft and a stodgy mess!). This is definitely one of my favorites now and any variations would be much appreciated! Laura x"
