I received a French Cordon Bleu “Quick Classics” cookbook as a housewarming gift from my Parisian neighbor. Looking back, Madame Bruousell’s gift was the harbinger for my passion for cooking! Spring pea and prosciutto risotto was the dish I prepared for my first dinner party in Paris. I can remember being so nervous about speaking French, picking out the wine, the cheese, and making the risotto! Those were sweet days! Risotto is a recipe that requires a glass of wine, good music and patience! Serve with a simple green salad and baguette! Happy Spring! Bon Appétit![/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” background_animation=”none” css_animation=””][vc_column][vc_column_text]
