I don’t think she’s ever made a single thing in my life that I didn’t enjoy eating. But like every other home cook in America, she has her specialties; she has a knack for creating incredibly decadent desserts, well balanced salads, and creamy, comforting risotto.
So for me, eating risotto, which is a comfort food already, becomes even more heartwarming due to the fact that it reminds me of Momma Bush. Whenever I make it, my mind goes back to my childhood: I picture my mother, in an old tee-shirt, standing in front of the stove, patiently stirring a huge pot of risotto, while trying not to step on the hungry little dachshund eager to catch crumbs at her feet.
Whenever I make risotto, this image runs through my mind, and my heart is instantly filled with joy. Therefore, it will come as no surprise that this pumpkin parmesan risotto with mushrooms and sage is one of my favorite recipes I’ve created this year.
