Season of Risotto

Following a recent acquisition of an outstanding cookbook on risotto, the last few weeks have been a proper season of risotto at the Lodge's outpost in Australia.

A personal favourite is the Strawberry Risotto. Yes, strawberries, I do concur: the very thought seems one reeking of the air of insanity. Yet, despite appearances, this dish is a dark horse.

Other notable dishes of late include: Rocket Risotto ...



Leek and Pancetta Risotto ...



And last but not least, Beetroot Risotto ...



Incidentally, the aforementioned cookbook was bought at Books for Cooks in Melbourne. A further proof to my claim that Melbourne is a fine place for gastronomical adventures.
