Jamie Oliver taught me how to make risotto. Not personally like but in his first cookery book (ie before he sold out to Sainsburys). There then followed several months worth of risotto meals. His method was to lightly fry the rice (aborrio, it has to be aborrio) before chucking a glass of vermouth into the pan and then ladelling in stock gradually. Dead easy.
I then went on to Paella (which uses a very similar method) which, I'm told, I'm pretty damn hot at making. :-)
