[@ChubbsRN]

She's still a PBS staple. My mom always watches her show on the weekend

[@salad3256]

Shes awesome :)

[@Minaz89thsong]

I loved watching her on channel 13 when I was a child!!

[@mmarksz86]

She is such a legend of Italian cooking. I could listen to her describe dishes and recipes all day long. Perfect mix of authenticity and passion for sharing food that anyone can create.

[@JTMcAwesomeFace]

Lidia's Italy! I almost forgot about that show wow those were the days

[@Torontoflatlander]

You guys should check your footage/equipment. One horizontal screen tear across the main camera throughout the whole video.

[@Martineiro]

TOflat yeah, for a second there I thought my TV was dying

[@artypyrec4186]

I dont have that happening, so either it's fixed or youre on a different platform then me.

[@jmowens69]

No tearing here

[@gee_emm]

[@raiga4734]

This was absolutely pleasant from beginning to end. I will be making this soon for sure

[@starsdaisuki]

So nice seeing her, I also remember on PBS. She's aged gracefully.

[@panasuave]

mind-bending risotto

[@leorickt.9604]

I love how this chef is the antithesis to the hipster cool young chef. Just a professional. No chef knife tattoo on his arm or stupid fucking haircut

[@JK-fu1bn]

[@killercaos123]

That looked super fancy.

[@Oisink3d]

She is great!

[@ScreamingSicilian70]

That looks amazing. I'm definitely going to make this soon!

[@TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

[@FrankTedesco]

I love Lydia. Beets... not so much...

[@JB0lant3]

But...but... But Joe Bastianich said in Masterchef Junior that you should never put salt on your risotta afterward you have made it. He said only in the beginning because you get your salt from the shallots and onions or whatever. You put salt and pepper on the risotta last

[@TheLoneWanderersBunker]

to me that looks overcooked/soggy. I am used to a sticky risotto that almost looks like fried rice.

[@Mitzuoyan]

As an asian here, can I just ask what exactly a risotto is? Lookin at it and its steps, I can only see it as a congee 粥, like the thick kind, not the soupy one

[@leesykes4640]

Its a rice emulsion similar to congee but with two specific types of rice grains being used to produce it. Typically its made by emulsifying and boiling rice in a pan using small amounts of liquid at a time in order to control the thickness of the risotto. This dish is typically extremely creamy and extremely fatty due to the high amounts of butter that most recipes call for. Look up Risotto ala Milianese which is the most traditional and well recognized risotto. The difference overall between this and congee is the rice type and what kind of add ins and fluids are used. The technique is extremely similar though.

[@gashinaya]

it looks like ground bEEf

[@markyoung691]

[@Passionforfoodrecipes]

I do prefer to use white rice in my risotto, I guess you could say I’m a little ricist

[@gunmetal611]

What happened to the shredded beets? Did they get added, when did they get added, do they need to be hot like the wine and the stock when you add them to the risotto (funny they don't mention that). I love this woman, a lot of my Italian cooking comes from her, but the lack of information makes this a half ass master class.

[@Luminance9]

Are you sure you watched the video? 4:23

[@dustinM613]

Made this last night for dinner.

And how was it?

Maybe use a bigger pan? More surface will help the rice cook evenly

[@orentastic2904]

now, even just for a just a little, I know where did Joe get hist meticulous ways in the kitchen..

[@DaGrebbsbuadrumsinc]

what at mess of a risotto xD look at the onions right at the beginning xD ... this is not a professional chef risotto .. maybe more italian style but not fine dining kitchen for sure xD

[@premejon8300]

Your comment reeks of foodie elitism. It’s a KZbin video for home cooks and u dare say it’s not “fine dining” equivalent 😂, show us ur risotto let’s see if it’s better!

[@GrowingDownUnder]

Stirring rice is a disaster waiting to happen, one thing I learnt in cooking is never stir the rice. I'm guessing because there's so much liquid in that risotto it's stopping the rice sticking together, but that risotto looks too wet. Stir less, add less liquid then it would be perfect. (stirring releases the starches but also breaks the grains of rice, turning it into mush) Another tip is cook rice with a lid on, it should steam while it's cooking, just make sure the starch doesn't overflow out the pot lol

[@punktnig]

if it's get mushy u overcooked it it's not cuz of stiring.

[@premejon8300]

Do u even know how to make risotto? Temperature and cook time is everything, u must stir to release starches to get a velvetty sauce.. it’s like people post comments with no clue as to how the food is even made to begin with..

[@robertnewell4054]

@GrowingDownUnder ..... thanks for tip. Unfortunately after stirring rice in making risotto for over 30 years it might be too late for me

[@premejon8300]

Robert Newell I guarantee this person is used to making a Spanish style “Arroz” which is only stirred for 5 min at the beginning then left to sit in a “mountain” shape for 20-30min. Risotto is not Arroz lmfaooo

[@robertnewell4054]

@Jonathan Vega ........ good insight. Thank you my friend 👏🏾

[@philipposlk992]

All it needed was only the guy .. the bossy woman not even !

[@robertnewell4054]

@Philippos Liakos ....... Nana Lidia has been a favorite Italian Grandma for decades. Perhaps it’s a cultural thing but she’s awesome & held in great esteem by many of us

Lidia is a legend.
