Why we love pollinators!

Risotto is the ultimate dinner party food – it is elegant, delicious, easy to master, and can easily be adapted to suit most diets (it’s naturally gluten-free, and this version is completely vegan!). This recipe has a Spring flair with the addition of fresh asparagus and Meyer lemon. This recipe uses Prosecco instead of white wine which is traditionally used in risotto to make it extra special and celebratory.
