What a lovely tibute to a special friend. And it was fun re-reading the More article. Wish I had discovered Italy when I was much younger. I think you’ve lived the life I’ve fantasized.

Absolutely beautiful and vulnerable the window of humanity you gift this season. With all life’s flawless imperfections and unpredictable strands…..String a common thread. Exhausted, I read this wonderous piece NYC train bound but liberated and renewed after devouring my first gift of the season. Thank you Martha. I adore your writing.

This is incorrect. You never use a heat above medium when cooking Risotto. The reason being is that if the heat is too high, the rice grains will boil, which reduces flavor absorption, and destroys texture. The other issue here, is that you never flood the rice, because you will not have a creamy risotto if you do.
