Since my trip to Ooze last week, I’ve been on a mission to find good risotto that’s both cheap and tasty. It only took me one try.
I give you: Gustosecco Pumpkin Risotto

I bought this risotto at Kennards after attending an event for the blog Domestic Sluttery. At £3.95 for the bag, I figured it was [...]
