Get a delightful spring in your step with our Spring Green Risotto. In this lively virtual class, we’ll make a risotto large enough to feed the family as a one-dish wonder. This sassy springtime risotto is bright green from peas and mint, and zingy from the lemon. We love this vegetarian risotto as it is, but it’s also nice to add shrimp or scallops. (This class is also gluten-free.)

Optional Add On: Le Creuset 4.5 quart soup pot: $290
The perfect pot! We love these sexy pots with curved sides that help encourage movement as you stir. Enamel-covered cast iron prevents sticking & is heavy for even heat distribution and more control in cooking. This beauty can be used on the stove-top, in the oven, and even go straight to the table to serve from (since it’s so darned cute!)

Optional Add-On: Saute Pan: $69
Create the most beautiful Risotto with this exceptional 12-inch non-stick pan.
Every cook’s kitchen needs one of these. This pan (made in USA) is weighty enough to be sturdy and conduct heat beautifully! The stainless steel is non-stick and will last you many, many great meals.

Optional Add On: Exoglass Spoon: $12
All cooking spoons are not created equal! Why we chose this spoon: Made from composite material, in France. A durable item built to last. Super-resistant to heat (use in jam-making!), non -porous & can be sterilized. Will not deteriorate or lose its shape. Will not scratch your pans – use with non-stick! It is only $12, what are you waiting for?

Optional Add On: Maldon Salt: $8
Finish your Risotto with this flakey salt: your meal will sing!
This salt is a Hipcooks favorite, and is the ideal finisher to many dishes. Crystals with large surface area mean “less is more”. Use to finish dishes for a lovely burst of flavor.

Optional Add On: Mircoplane Zester $15
The “gratest” tool in the kitchen! Parmesan cheese falls like snow, with so much surface area that “less is more”. But donÕt stop there! Also use to zest citrus, grate ginger, shave chocolate, sprinkle nutmeg, etc., etc.
