Overall, I thought the risotto was good. I'll definitely make it again, but I'll make a few adjustments to the recipe.

The risotto was a bit too dry. I think I'll add a bit more liquid next time.

The risotto was a bit too soupy. I think I'll cook it for a few minutes less next time.

This risotto was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less ham next time.

I was skeptical about the combination of porcini and ham, but I was pleasantly surprised. The flavors really complemented each other.
