Risotto Primavera for #WeekdaySupper
Risotto is one of my favourite dishes to make year-round; it is so versatile and just works so well with whatever happens to be in season. And now that Spring has finally arrived (hello, long, balmy evenings!) I can think of no better way to welcome the delayed season in than by cooking up a Risotto Primavera, especially for my night of Family Foodie’s #WeekdaySupper.

A garden full of sunshine, friends, cold cider and the anticipation of the food sizzling on the grill.

The long, lazy days of summer are drawing to a close and soon the back-to-school frenzy will begin. Forget relaxed BBQs and slow-cook dinners, food is needed pronto, somewhere between homework and bathtime.
