We tried this recipe after watching the episode of Good Eats where it was featured. We left out the lemon and the nutmeg (we were out of lemon, and we hate nutmeg!, but it was still terrific! Thanks, Alton!

Followed the recipe to the T. It took alot longer than 40-45 minutes to complete. More like 2 hrs. Maybe my "low" on my electric stove is lower than meant. Not too keen on the lemon zest or the asparagus flavor. Tasted kind of bland. Kept thinking there had to be something missing. But there wasn't. I'll keep trying Alton's recipes, but this one just didn't excite the taste buds.

I thought this risotto was fantastic! The only change I made was to add a few chopped sun-dried tomatoes. All of the flavors complemented each other perfectly. This recipe was easy, but also fairly time consuming since you have to pre-cook the mushrooms and asparagus and grate fresh nutmeg, parmesan, lemon zest etc. However, despite the time investment, I definitely plan to make this again.

I had never tried cooking risotto before although I once read an article that stated all guys should know how to do this. I agree, great one bowl meal! Alton's demonstration and instructions were spot on. Thank you

After watching Alton (my favorite tv personality make risotto, I was eager to make it for my entire family.

Let me start out by saying:
1 I know how to follow a recipe
2 I followed this recipe correctly
3 I have made great risotto before
4 Alton is the most awesome culinary
guy ever!

First of all, the chicken broth lent much less flavor to the dish than a beef broth would(what I am used to.

Secondly, the lemon zest tended to overpower the other flavors. In fact, I could barely taste the asparagus at all. I would recommend using less zest to anyone else trying this recipe.

Overall, while the flavor was not bad, it just wasn't something that impressed my family (or me too much. There are tons of other risotto recipes on this site to try before I make this one again. Sorry Alton...
