This risotto was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if it had more seasoning. Other than that, the risotto was creamy and cooked perfectly.

This risotto was a bit too lemony for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if the lemon flavor had been more subtle. Other than that, the risotto was creamy and cooked perfectly.

I'm not a big fan of risotto, but I decided to try this recipe because it sounded so good. I'm glad I did! This risotto was creamy and flavorful, and the lemon added a nice touch of brightness. I will definitely be making this again.

I love making this risotto in the summer when lemons are in season. The bright lemon flavor is perfect for a light and refreshing meal. I also like to add some grilled shrimp or chicken to the risotto for a more substantial meal.

This risotto is a great way to use up leftover rice. I usually make a big batch of rice on the weekend, and then I use it to make risotto during the week. The lemon flavor is a nice change from the usual tomato-based risotto.

I'm a big fan of risotto, and this lemon-scented version is one of my favorites. The lemon adds a bright and refreshing flavor that really complements the creamy rice. I also love the crispy shallots on top. I will definitely be making this again.

This risotto was okay. It wasn't as flavorful as I was hoping, and the rice was a bit mushy. I think I would have liked it better if I had used a different type of rice. I might try this recipe again with arborio rice.

This risotto was a disappointment. The flavors were bland, and the rice was overcooked. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I won't be making this again.
