I enjoyed making this dish. This is NOT for those who dislike gorgonzola. Luckily, I adore gorgonzola! However, I'm not sure that the taste of walnuts and gorgonzola goes well with a risotto made with white wine - I think that the combination of gorgonzola and walnut is best with a cream sauce pasta, or spinach leaves in a salad. It is a little strange with a broth/wine risotto, or maybe it is just something my palate is not used to. I did enjoy this, though, and it looked lovely. This made a rich, creamy risotto - I think next time I'm going to substitute vegetables and asiago for the gorgonzola and walnut. Thanks for posting this for everyone to enjoy!

Me and my boyfriend have been together for 11 years now. We live on 40 acres and have 6 dogs and 4 Tennessee Walkers. We both work a lot of hours so there is never enough time in a day to get everything done. I absolutely love the outdoors. I also enjoy lifting weights, reading and playing with all of my beautiful animals. I absolutely love, love and love to cook. I like to cook a variety of things and also like love to bake. I like to just get in the kitchen and experiment with different things. If something does not turn out for me such as pie crust or gravy I will keep trying until I can make it work. Only problem is, when I finally make it work it may not work again the time after that. It is fun though and I do consider myself a pretty good cook for the most part. I also love slow cooker recipes. Those are my most favorite in the winter months.
