pbsweeney – Long time no see! Yes, ’shrooms – risotto al funghi — my second favorite. I have fond memories and thoughts of Sag Harbor, to say nothing of the Candy Kitchen in Bridgehampton.

I will have to try the risotto at the American Hotel and perhaps you’ll be sitting next to me.

One of my most serious addictions is for mushroom risotto. At the American Hotel in Sag Harbor, NY I have been known to sit at the old bar, and even though I am just there for a drink I end up with a nice little plate of their risotto, because it’s like ALL I ever want! This recipe looks divine.

VegeYum – There is something so wonderfully self-indulgent about risotto time at the stove, isn’t there? And all the senses are engaged, as they should be, from the sound of the onions hitting the pan to the fragrance of the spice, to the look of the rice as it transforms itself, the subtlety of flavors when tasting for seasoning. A real joy.

I got lucky with the photo. That, or my love of the dish came into play. Either way, thank you.

I love risotto too – the other night I made a roasted butternut risotto. I love the stirring – quite meditative. AND the natural creaminess. Cannot imagine adding cream to it. Your photo is amazing.

@jeena – Thanks so much! Every now and then I get one right.

@Erika – Hi, good to see you. Pumpkin risotto. I am swooning. I’ll have to try it.
