Risotto is usually pretty heavy...but I craved it last week and whipped up a modified recipe I found on the web (I'll find it again, and post a link, I promise) made with summer squash, some fava beans, and fresh ricotta topped with some basil from the garden (by garden, I mean the pot of basil I try to prevent the neighborhood cat from pissing on!) It wasn't much less "heavier" but....it was my justification from gorging on it in the summer!

I've also been contemplating risotto, but I was planning on adding corn and some tomatoes from my dad's garden and some basil from my mother-in-law's mutant basil plant. Yours, however, looks rather delicious.
I think I may have asked this already - what camera/lenses are you using? I want to pick up a dSLR for my wife for XMas and I'm asking everyone I know for recommendations...
I blew the load and picked up a Nikon D300....but please....please...don't think my pictures are great.....it's WAAAY too much camera for what I need.
I use either a 50mm 1.8 lense (cheap, but good) or 18-200 kit lense that it came with.
you can see some more pictures http://rtimko.smugmug.com/ but...I'd recommend a less expensive camera. I love my D300, but I could get the same shots out of a D40 or canons entry level because I'm just not much of a photographer.
the lenses are the expensive part, and for food photography, ya need a pretty fast lense.
