I love pasta, rice and risotto dishes, but have to confess I am a bit of a snob when it comes to these as my partner is half Italian and we eat a lot of Italian dishes and eat Italian out a lot, there is nothing worse than an awful pasta or rice dish...soggy pasta or overcooked rice has to be the worst thing ever! I am very cautious when buying new or different products as I find a lot of them are quite vile to be honest. I love to make homemade risotto....you cant beat cooking it yourself as you can get the perfect consistancy and obviously any delicious flavours you like. Of all the packet or pre made risotto's that I have tried Ainsley Harriots Risotto is ...  Read the complete review

I'm going to have to change my name to the Rice-Queen, aren't I. As stated elsewhere, we eat a LOT of rice, around three or four nights a week, as Mr T-o-T is obsessed with the stuff. This is fine by me, but I do need to find new ways of serving it to stop myself getting bored. I also don't want to spend too much time cooking dinner after a long day at work. I do love a good risotto. Unfortunately, I don't seem to be able to make them myself very well. Probably comes from not having half the right ingredients and just bunging in what I do have to hand in the kitchen. Very nice too, but not really risotto, never mind that I'm using risotto ...  Read the complete review

When shopping, I like to take my time especially when it comes to food shopping as I don't like to get stuck into routine of buying the same old things and then boring myself of them. This is why I look at offers as they tend to give me an idea of what is new which is how I came across these Ainsley Harriott Risotto's. I was aware he did a selection but I think these are new flavours he has added, I wanted to give them a try as I have loved his Cous Cous in the past and he does Rice as well which I have not yet gotten round to testing out. The packets are 120g sachet's they can come in a bigger box of more sachets depending on how you buy them. I bought ...  Read the complete review

For the time being I have been cutting out potatoes and bread from my diet. This is because I'm bulimic and feel very wary of these foods so like I say just for the time being they're off my menu and I'm sticking with things I am comfortable eating. Ainsley Harriot food stuffs are something I'm rather fond of. I've tried quite a few things from his range including the gorgeous cup a soups to cous cous and enjoyed them all so when I spotted this risotto at 39p a pack in my local B & M store I actually picked up rather a few of them. They only had the wild mushroom risotto option to buy but I am aware since trying this that there are a few varieties about of ...  Read the complete review

I eat a lot of rice as I have trouble with eating pasta and so rice is a great alternative. I usually live on the microwavable rice and so when I saw this risotto I wanted to give it a try. I usually make my own risotto for the family, but when i'm on my own I don't really want to put all the effort in. I'm not a fan of Ainsley Harriot, his personality annoys me but I thought what the hell.. There are a few flavours to choose from.. - Rice and wild mushroom - Broccoli and Blue Cheese - tomato and Mascarpone - Asparagus and Leek - Pea and Mint Today I tried Asparagus and Leek, but have tried the mushroom one in the ...  Read the complete review
