what sort of risotto are you making? I do a mushroom and blue cheese. I use a Campbells stock (always heated before adding ladle by ladle) I use white wine ( usually a sav) plenty of freshly ground pepper, a good blue cheese such as Moeraki Blue and often a drizzle of truffle oil on the top with a little shaved fresh parmesan.

Having a pan full of stock on the simmer next to your risotto pan helps. If you're making a mushroom risotto, try getting some dried mushrooms and use the water left over after soaking for extra punch.
Use short or medium grain rice - not the usual long grain. Add some white wine, or, better, Vermouth towards the end of the cooking. Add fresh herbs at the end, and some cheese will help to thicken it as well (parmesan is my choice). And let it sit (untouched) for two-three minutes before serving.
