About the Class

This masterclass takes you through the essential elements of great risotto.

You’ll begin by learning how to build flavour from the base, using prawn shells and aromatics to create a rich, seafood stock. From there, you’ll explore the role of Carnaroli rice, why it’s prized for risotto, and how to manage heat, liquid and stirring to achieve the perfect creamy texture without overworking the rice.
