In 15th-century Nuremberg, adulterating saffron was punishable by death. Three centuries later, an apprentice glass maker poured that same spice into wedding rice as a prank, and Milan claimed the dish as its own.

This week, we break down Risotto alla Milanese — the simplest great dish in Italian cooking — and explore: why Carnaroli beats Arborio, the three Italian techniques that define every pot (tostatura, sfumatura, mantecatura), and the Marchesi acid butter trick that removes the onion entirely.

The cocktail: the Sbagliato Dorato — saffron-infused gin, Suze, and Prosecco.
