    How to make a creamy restaurant-like risotto

    Today, I made you a video. Well, sort of. Let's say a video with no video in it. Just some animated slides. Well, that's a good start, right? I realized it would have taken me 3 days to incorporate the videos I shot. Because you see, I had  already started making this risotto when I thought it would be a great idea to make a recipe tutorial. So I started shooting in the middle of the recipe. Meaning that I would have had to make a mix of pictures and videos. Well, that's doable, but not in 5 minutes. I need to learn first. Like learn how to edit of-A video properly, finding the righ music, add this music and so on. I have something to say. Wow, congrats to all my fellow food bloggers who do video recipes!! That's so much work!

    Anyway, I still made this 'video' because I really want you guys to try making your own risotto at home. This stuff is SO GOOD, like amazing, like give-me-the-whole-skillet amazing. Already complaining about all the stirring? Honestly it's not that bad, really. The result is totally worth the effort. And again, this isn't as complicated as you may think it is. You need to follow 5 simples rules. But I won't tell you what those are, so I'm sure you'll watch the video haha. Otherwise, you can just scroll down at the bottom of the article, after the recipe. I made you a nice 'Pinterest recap'.

    PS: it would be perfect for a Valentine dinner date. You're pretty sure to win his/her heart, and keep it forever. Food really is a key in relationship. You've been warned.

      The creamy risotto recipe worked perfectly though I had to add more stock to cook the rice. I added mushroom and cooked quail with my own chicken stock. Though I say it myself, it was great.
