Jan and Russel cooked this for me :), nothing better then having the chef actually cook the meal. They served it up and I never thought I would eat it all, .......BUT I did. It was a great winter meal, but with a "light" feel to it, every mouthful held all the different flavours! loved it, highly recommend! (PS dont over-cook the risoni)Reply
