8th Annual International Risotto Festival






What a great turnout we had for Risotto this year! It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon as everyone strolled in the breezy outdoors of the Houston Design Center. The aromas of Risotto filled the air and the wine was flowing! If you stopped by Thorntree's studio, you got to enjoy our delicious home made Tiramisu, compliments of yours truly!






Congratulations to all the chefs who competed, the judges who deliberated, the sponsors who supported and the fans who enjoyed this year's International Risotto Festival!


Chef Jon Buchanan of Trevisio earned top prize with his Crabmeat and Meyers Lemon Risotto

First runner-up Jamie Zelko of Zelko Bistro wowed judges with her white Alba truffle Risotto

Also in the winners' circle were Philippe Schmit of Philipe Restaurant (2nd runner up)

And John Sheely of Mockingbird Bistro (honorable mention)
