Since I love to eat, and I love to try new things, I joined something called the Daring Kitchen! It is a group of food bloggers that have secret cooking challenges every month to try new things in the kitchen!
The 2010 March Daring Cooks challenge was hosted by Eleanor of MelbournefoodGeek and Jess of Jessthebaker. They chose to challenge Daring Cooks to make risotto. The various components of their challenge recipe are based on input from the Australian Masterchef cookbook and the cookbook Moorish by Greg Malouf.
I made a Hokkaido Matpumpa Risotto, with my own home-made vegetable stock. It was my first time making risotto (surprisingly easy, you just need not be in a rush) and a first for making my own stock! It turned out quite good! We enjoyed a lovely dinner with wine, risotto, and actually I also tried making pizza with my own homemade pizza dough (first time ever using yeast), and that turned out well too!
I also joined the Daring Kitchen’s group for Daring Bakers, so stay tuned to see what baking surprise I am working on for March!
