Hi Carolyn-Thankyou so much! Now that would be interesting indeed!

As for the drying out. You can try what we did as we made all our risotto in large batches and then reheated it for service. Simply add a small amount of stock and rework it on the stovetop when you’re ready to serve. This way you can make it as far ahead as you need.
