Sophie's Cooking Review-
I used arborio rice from Aldi which I have to admit is not the nicest arborio I've ever used. But other than that it was really nice. I learnt how to cook this dish in grade eight and have been cooking it ever since.

Dailins Review-

I thought it needed a bit more salt and pepper but other than that, it was very tasty.

COOK IT. TASTE IT. RATE IT.
