📖 Who should read this

📜 Historical context

Rooted in the culinary traditions of Northern Italy, this style of cooking centers on transforming short-grain rice through a gradual absorption method. The technique relies on coaxing starches out of specific rice varieties with warm broth to create a rich, naturally creamy texture without heavy cream.
