It all started when I saw BFF L's, facebook picture of homecooked risotto. A whatsapp message was all we needed and off we went to her place for a homecook dinner.
I love cooking and cooking with friends is fun. Or rather, I can join in the cooking process as and well I like it. I do not have to execute the whole cooking process to enjoy the meal.
Mushroom risotto was what we set for the menu. L mentioned that it will take around half an hour from the preparation to the end product for the dinner. Okay, I trusted her as I have not cooked risotto before.
So she gave the instructions for us to chop the different types of mushrooms into a small-bites size. I volunteered to chop as I thought it was the simplest task. And as I chopped, the portion got bigger and I was rather stunned that I questioned L. She replied it's fine. The horror part was that we had extra servings of risotto in the end that I could bring home some for brother's supper.
Next up was the cooking of risotto. Step by step, we followed instructions. It wasn't difficult to cook risotto but it requires patience as each step takes time to add the ingredients and to stir them together.
It all paid off when it's time to serve dinner. I guess due to the extra big portion of risotto, we took an hour to cook instead of her usual half an hour. But I loved our homecooked risotto! Delicious and I looked forward to our next cooking gathering.

I'm not sure where BFF L got her recipe from, but you can take a look at Jamie Oliver's recipe.
