Northern Italy's most famous category of dishes is risotto. Based on short, plump grains of rice with lots of surface starch that dissolves in the cooking liquid to form a rich-tasting, creamy sauce, risotto may be served as an appetizer; as a satisfying main course for a casual meal; or as a side dish to soak up the sauces of stews or braises, including the classic Milanese braised veal shanks known as osso buco. Make risotto a few times and you'll probably feel as Italian as I do!

When you’ve got one dish that combines the flavors of chocolate and espresso coffee with sugar, light spongy ladyfinger cookies, and tangy-creamy mascarpone cheese, how can you possibly go wrong? No wonder it gets its name, which is Italian slang for “pick-me-up.” |
