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.

This recipe is perfection, and has the perfect amount of every flavor. I made it a bit more healthy by adding some asparagus, cutting out some of the butter, and use soy creamer instead of heavy cream. It was still so decadent, but without all the guilt!

...Nigella is an amazing cook and her recipes are perfect! This risotto is so easy to make, and turns out perfectly every time - without any modifications. This is quickly becoming a household favorite and I am so thrilled to have found it!

This dish is an ultra delicious and comforting portion of heaven on my plate. The risotto is really easy to make and is fun to spend the time stirring it, making it creamy.

The eggy, silky lemony bites are laced with a hint of zesty lemon and celery with carrots and onion make a lovely base. I make sure to sprinkle lots of tiny Parmesan cheese curls into it for the final salty and cheesy finish.

I make this all the time, it's one of my favorite fool proof dishes.

Took me a while to get the rice al dente but it turned out perfect, and very creamy - just the way i love risotto to be. I paired it with a very spicy fish recipe and it was perfect.

Nice bright summer dish. I didn't include the egg yolk (I've never added it in risotto before and the reviews said it was really rich. Served it with an apricot mint chicken breast. My husband liked the risotto so much he had it for breakfast today.

I am new to risottos, so I am no expert, but this is SO rich, it seemed almost like dessert. Maybe add more lemon?! Good though, and my husband loved it.

I don't know that I've ever tasted something so wonderful. It is the perfect balance of flavor and texture, the lemon is incredible and the egg makes it so wonderful.
