Risotto - Sat 9th Oct 2010
I was really keen to try this and sadly was really rather disappointed. I tried both this and the asparagus one, other than the fact this it is organic I cannot imagine that this product would be any different than boiling risotto rice with a packet of instant mushroom cup-a-soup. The result was over-salty, with bits of chewy dried mushroom and very little real flavour. I even tried recycling it (since no one had wanted to eat it) as a stuffing for baked bell peppers and added extra herbs, olive oil, lemon juice. That improved things a little, but not enough to encourage me to buy it again. I also tried the asparagus, by the way, which was just as bad. That being said, it's no worse a result than the non-organic Gustosecco, which I also tried. I'll be making my own risotto from now on.

Organico Porcini and Wild Mushroom Risotto - Sun 9th Oct 2011
This is a favourite store cupboard staple in our household and makes an excellent quick meal for three adults with the addition of a side salad. I usually stir in some extras just before serving - olive oil or butter, pine nuts, olives and goat's cheese all work well. I'm puzzled by the previous reviewer's comments and poor rating - I can only think that perhaps they misread the preparation instructions. I find it particularly useful on self-catering holidays and it would be great for camping trips too as unlike tinned food the packet is small and doesn't weigh much.
