Risotto of the Vigil

Risotto Cooking

McCall's Gateau Basque

We have many cooking traditions and one of ours is making Risotto of the Vigil every December near Christmas. This recipe is from The Splendid Table by Lynne Rossetto Kasper. It is a very hearty risotto and perfect for the cold climate. It is delicious and helps us welcome in the holiday season. You can get the recipe from our blog of: Dec. 22, 2009. Click the date to get the recipe. We purchase all of the meat and cheese at McCall’s Meat and Fish.

While we were at McCall’s we saw a Gateau Basque that Karen had baked and couldn’t resist it. A perfect dessert.
