three cheese risotto
Heat the stock in a pan over a moderate heat. Heat the olive oil in a pan. Add the onions, garlic and celery, and fry gently for about 5 minutes until softened. Add the rice to the pan and turn up the heat. Cook for a minute or so, stirring constantly, until the rice looks slightly translucent. Add the wine and keep stirring - any alcohol flavours will evaporate.Once the wine has been absorbed by the rice, add your first ladle of hot stock and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Turn the heat down to a simmer so the rice doesn't cook too quickly on the outside. Add the stock, a ladleful at a time, stirring constantly and allowing each ladleful to be absorbed before adding the next, until the rice is cooked but still holds its shape - this takes about 15 minutes.
Stir in the Appenzeller and taleggio. Remove the pan from the heat and season to taste, then beat in the butter and Parmesan. Place a lid on the pan and leave to rest for 2 to 3 minutes - your risotto will get nice and oozy. Enjoy!

Instead of Gruyere, which has an aggressive taste, I would include "Fontina, dolce" which is sweeter and doesn't overshadow the whole dish.
Just a suggestion though...
As an Italian I have to say that Jamie is the only chef who comes close to respecting our flavors and simplicity in the kitchen...

This was such a delicious risotto...... I could not find taleggio cheese but it worked with just two cheeses. Thanks

I took your three cheese risotto added left-over chicken meat, roasted peppers and added a couple of strips of bacon. The left over gravy I added to make the litre stock…very tasty! I did change the cheeses to what cheeses I had in the fridge…they were really left -over from during the fortnight; AND VOILA!!!! I had a meal that all my visitors enjoyed! And no one guessed the risotto was from left-over roast the night before and cheese from during the last fortnight!!! Thank you…. :-)

carol: the topping in the picture is thyme croutons,and they're really yummy to cut throught the fattiness of the cheese, just cube some bread and fry in oil with lots of fresh thyme, and sprinkle on the top of the risotto to serve :)

I have to say ! For the Worst cook EVER, Mannnnnnn this Risotto was SENSATIONAL. Thanks to all of the comments about this dish I decided to try it.
I might get burnt at the steak for this, BUT I really do not enjoy cooking, but since my husband started working night shift, I had to try at least.
I have to say this risotto made me want to try more. So a BIG HUGE THANKS.
Cheers
