In this chapter, we're introduced to some of the ingredients that will be used in the next chapter's recipe. First, we get a brief description of parmesan cheese, which is a type of cheese that's made by adding other ingredients to the original cheese. Next, we learn about the different types of rice that can be used for making risotto, and finally we learn that the pear risotto is made with arborio rice, which has a higher content of sugar than other types of pears. Finally, we see how good the risotto is. It's so good, in fact, that the judges unanimously agree that it's the best risotto they've ever tasted.
