I crumbled a little crispy smoked bacon (streaky) onto it instead of parmesan and it gave it another texture and flavour……lovely !

I have this cook book too and made this risotto last night. I added about 2 cups of frozen peas half way through cooking which added a bit of colour. I served with some crispy smoked bacon and fried sage leaves on top. Delicious.
