- It's something that I would serve to my family
and I eat something else.
(bright music)
- Hi everyone, I'm Edimara.
- And today I'll be trying-
- Other mums' risotto, mm.
- I love it. I love risotto.
- Bit of a spiritual experience.
Something you can do on a Sunday at lunch
and spend a couple of hours in the kitchen
and relax like that.
- This is my favorite risotto, mushrooms. Fun guys. (laughs)
- What makes my risotto different
is that I use dried porcini, I use oyster mushrooms,
king oyster mushrooms, and chestnut mushrooms.
And I also make the stock from scratch.
- It's special because it's not traditional.
It's a risotto with pears and Gorgonzola.
These ingredients is perfect together.
- My risotto is quite traditional.
I put porcini mushrooms, I put chestnut mushroom in there,
parsley, a bit of wine, and some broth.
- I expect today to, you know, enjoy my time.
Surprise me with beautiful and really tasty risotto.
- I'm really excited to try the other mums' risottos now.
- Andiamo!
- When you eat it, you really enjoy it.
It's really creamy and soft.
You see, this is look so beautiful, no?
- I really don't know what this is. Risotto, fair enough.
It smells okay but it's a question mark.
- It's smelly,
but I think I recognize the smell of Gorgonzola.
It looks like cut up potatoes,
but I have a feeling it's pears.
I hate pears.
And I think they used cashews,
which I've never seen in a risotto.
It's not an Italian ingredient,
but it's quite a creative ingredient to use.
- Ooh, it's blue cheese, isn't it?
- It's not as bad as I thought.
You can't taste the pear, but I can feel it.
So if the pear was cut up really, really small,
for me, this would be much better.
- This is Gorgonzola.
I'm not a big fan of it,
but just because it's my personal taste.
I don't like blue cheese.
- I like the consistency, it's creamy.
The rice is cooked really well. The salt level is perfect.
- The cheese is really affecting me
because it covers everything else.
But yeah, it's not something
that I would serve to my family.
Actually, no, it's not true.
It's something that I would serve to my family
and I eat something else.
- The overall flavor is okay.
I would have probably skipped on the pears
and just added more nuts in.
- The texture is great.
It's nice and creamy, but I don't like the cheese.
So I would give this mum a six.
- So I give this a 5 out of 10. Sorry mama.
- (laughs) Blah!
This is the cheese, blah!
I really like mushroom risotto so I make it quite often.
And I put a lot of love in it.
- Wow, it look amazing.
I like, you know, the color is really colorful.
And it smell so good.
- It looks nice, it looks creamy.
Maybe a bit on the thick side.
The rice they used is either Arborio or Carnaroli
which are perfect rices for risotto.
- Mm. Wow, it's really creamy and soft.
It's really tasty, this risotto.
- Ooh, I can see the cheese pulling.
There was a little cheese pull.
Hmm. The rice is cooked perfectly.
I would have liked a tiny bit more salt.
It's a really good risotto.
Definitely a really good risotto,
gonna have a little bit more.
- Yeah, there is a lot of cheese.
The taste is really creamy, soft.
And wow mama (speaking Italian).
- What I like about this is the taste of mushrooms
and I can taste the aroma of the wine, the black pepper.
It just works really well all together.
It's a great risotto.
- You know when you're feel in love and like
(speaking Italian) I feel in love with this risotto.
- What I've noticed is that this mum used carrots in risotto
which is something that I don't do, I only use onions.
I'll try it next time
because it might add a little bit more to it.
- I will ask this mother for give me the recipe,
because I think it's the best risotto with mushroom
that I've tried in my life.
- I'd give this a 7 out of 10
because I think that salt really does make a difference
in a risotto and this is lacking salt.
- I will give you this 10 (speaking Italian).
- I would definitely serve this to my family.
Add a bit of salt.
They wouldn't tell the difference between mine and this one.
What I do is I add a little bit of white wine,
as well as some nutmeg to my risotto
to sort of elevate the flavor.
And I think that's what makes it a bit different.
- It looks amazing.
There is a little difference.
I can recognize that this is not mine
because there is no parsley.
I put a lot more parsley in my risotto.
But this looks amazing.
I like the fact that I can see
the pieces of mushroom in here.
- Oh, it's looking really pretty.
It's a risotto with mushroom.
I can smell maybe it's a little, not a lot of cheese.
I don't know, but it's look different. So let's try.
- Mm, mm. It's a bit savory.
I dunno. This really taste of broth.
There is loads of broth coming through as well.
- This risotto is different just because there are mushroom
and a little bit really,
it's not a lot of cheese in this risotto.
But it's good really.
- I really like the fact
that there are pieces of mushrooms in here.
It's very tasty. It's rich in flavor.
But the thing that I can taste the most is salt.
But I really like it, it's really good.
- I like because there are a lot of mushroom.
I love mushroom.
But I prefer, you know, when there are more cheese,
because it's more creamy and softer.
But it's good really.
I like it. This risotto is good.
- I'll give the risotto a very good eight.
(speaking Italian) mama.
- I will give a seven for this risotto
because I love the mushroom, it's really creamy.
But for me, it's not enough cheese.
(audience applauding)
- Yay!
Yes, my risotto was very well-balanced.
- Oh well. I mean, the other risotto was nice.
- It's okay.
