Risotto with wild mushrooms & goat cheese

Risotto with wild mushrooms and goat's cheese

Risotto is a special dish, no matter what its ingredients. There are two main reasons: first, its delicious, rich taste and second: it's a dish that requires care, love and patience to prepare. Here’s one of our favourite risotto recipes (traditionally eaten in autumn but delicious all year around), featuring wild mushrooms, goat’s cheese and truffle.

Robiola and truffle Risotto

Robiola and truffle Risotto

There are some recipes that are impossible to forget, thanks to their special flavour and aroma. Risotto with Robiola cheese and truffle flakes is certainly one of those! It is a typical autumn dish, since this is the time the famous (and expensive!) fungus can mostly be found. Try out this outstanding risotto and be prepared for a true taste delight!

Saffron and gold leaf Risotto

Saffron and gold leaf Risotto

This recipe, saffron and gold leaf risotto, owes its fame to the renowned Italian chef Gualtiero Marchesi, who first created it. Of course, this is not his exact recipe since he won't reveal it, but we think this one will do justice to the original one!

Saffron and mushroom Risotto

Saffron and mushroom Risotto

Saffron and mushrooms risotto is a savoury, typical autumn starter. In fact, the best results can be obtained by using freshly harvested Porcino mushrooms, which can release their characteristic aroma, lending the dish its unmistakable flavour. Adding saffron further enhances the taste of this simple, yet elegant recipe. Feel free to serve it on any occasion, be it an informal get-together with friends or a special day.

Saffron and salted codfish Risotto

Saffron and salted codfish Risotto

Salted codfish is a relatively infrequent ingredient in Italian kitchens, but is still a very tasty and versatile element. The risotto recipe we are suggesting here requires average cooking skills but the result will be astonishing! A simple and delicate flavour, with a touch of saffron: a delight for the eyes and the taste buds too.

sausage and three grains soup

Sausage and 3 grain soup

This rich soup is the ideal dish for cold autumn and winter days, when all you crave is something hot and steaming to warm you up from the inside. This recipe can be modified according to your own personal tastes, you can replace the vegetables you're not so fond of with some of your favourites or even use beans, chickpeas or lentils instead of (or on top of) the sausage. Have fun creating your own version!

Truffle risotto

Truffle risotto

Truffles have always been used in Italian culinary tradition to perfume and enrich meat dishes, pasta or even fish-recipes. In fact, the Italian countryside is rich in this much loved fungus, that can be found almost all year-long. Although very expensive, just a few grams of this delicacy are enough to ennoble a plate, so that in the end the final price of a dish containing it is similar to a Pasta one with fresh, quality prawns.

The Venere rice is a highly aromatic variety, rich in mineral salts, magnesium, phosphorous and selenium. In this recipe, the delicate taste of crayfish and squids, as well as the tartness of the sauce, perfectly highlight the nutty taste of this cereal, creating a dish of well-balanced flavours.
