I love this recipe - one of my standbys for years. Goes great with roast chicken and some steamed green beans. You can't really follow an exact recipe when it comes to risotto, though - you have to just keep adding stock until it is al dente and then add the cream mixture. If you go too long, your risotto will be gluey. It takes practice, unfortunately, but once you get it down the effort is worth it!

Delicious! Creamy, rich and flavorful. When cooking, I needed more liquid than this recipe called for...so have some extra stock on hand.

didn't add any rosemary as I don't like it. The general recipe was good but my risotto turned out gluey.

Really liked the sparkle of the lemon and it made for a nice contrast to the creaminess of the risotto. Would have liked layering of some more flavors. The portion size in the recipe seems off - it definitely serves at least twice as many as indicated.

I LOVE risotto so I try to make lots of different kinds. This is the first one I ever made and it is still my favorite. The rosemary goes amazingly with the lemon and I don't think I will ever find a risotto I like better than this one! Nigella is the best!

I was having friends over for dinner and wanted something different. I made this recipe with a lemon and rosemary grilled pork loin. It was a hit. My children, who are huge lovers of rice pudding, thought that it tasted like lemon rice pudding and asked why we were having pudding for dinner and ate the leftovers for breakfast the next morning. I would recommend this recipe to anyone.

I made this last night and it certainly met my expectations. Very luscious and lemony. I did use a whole lemon zest and juice and used only one shallot b/c the one I had was gigantic....I even bought just one spoonful of celery from the salad bar b/c that was all I needed. Used dried rosemary b/c I forgot to get the fresh but I think almost any herb would be good (may try dill or tarragon next time. I had some leftover smoked salmon that I used as a ''garnish''. What a nice twist on the risotto recipe with the cream and egg - different yes - but very very good. Thumbs up from the hubby too. Already thinking about serving it again with some grilled chicken.

This was great! I doubled the recipe and used a big pot. It worked fine. I used milk instead of cream, about a tablespoon of dried rosemary instead of the fresh, and I didn't put in celery or the other half of the butter at the end. It didn't need it. It was rich and delicious!! You can add chicken and asparagus to make a complete meal.
