This recipe is a fail. The risotto was mushy and the flavors were all wrong.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my risotto turned out too dry. I think I might have added too much rice.

The risotto was a little bland for my liking. I added some extra salt and pepper, and it was much better.

This was a bit too tangy for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The risotto itself was cooked perfectly.
