    This was good, but I don't think I'd make it again -- too many other risottos I like better. I calculated the calories at almost double what is shown here ... I thought it sounded too good to be true! - 2/28/09

    you can make this as spicy as you want, I tend to like things hot! I also like to brown and bake the tofu before using it in this kind of recipe. - 2/12/09

    I couldn't believe that tofu does not have to have a bland taste. This was wonderful. I can't wait to make it again. I had no idea I would love artichoke so much! - 5/28/09
