I'm not sure what went wrong, but my risotto turned out gummy. I followed the instructions exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

This risotto was a bit too soupy for my taste. I would recommend cooking it for a few minutes longer next time.

I found this risotto to be a bit bland. I would recommend adding more salt and pepper to taste.

This risotto was a bit too lemony for my taste, but otherwise it was very good. I would recommend using less lemon next time.
