Fondue Party: Retro At Its Best
Right along with Barry White, platform shoes and disco, fondue cooking is back.

And it is quite the retro rage. Besides being just plain fun, cool and funky, fondue cooking is fast, convenient and very trendy.

fonduespacerEven if you scorch water, you can do fondue. It's that easy.

Whether you're entertaining friends or having a family dinner, fondue can take you from tasty appetizer and flavorful main dish to luscious dessert. All you need is a fondue pot, individual skewers and some creative edibles for dipping into the melted concoction.

Try all three types of fondue and experience interactive dining at its best.

Cheese fondue - is a mouth-watering mixture of easy-to-melt cheeses, like Gruyère or Edam, blended with a dry, white wine. The velvety, smooth sauce is perfect for dipping bread cubes or raw vegetables.

Sizzling fondue - is a hot-oil mixture in which you cook skewered pieces of raw beef or seafood, then dip the juicy morsels into one or more savory, seasoned sauces. A lighter version of this fondue uses heated broth rather than oil.

Chocolate fondue - combines melted bittersweet or semisweet chocolate with heavy cream, peanut butter or coconut. Into this heavenly confection, you can swirl large chunks of brownies, pound cake, biscotti or seasonal fresh fruits such as strawberries, bananas, cherries, grapes or peaches.

Before you get started, remember these fondue tips:
  • Prepare the fondue on the stovetop first, then transfer the mixture to the fondue pot.
  • Remove the dipped morsel from the fondue and place it on your plate.
  • Don't try to eat directly from the fondue fork because they can get extremely hot.
  • Keep the fondue pot no more than one-third to one-half filled with the melted cheese, chocolate or hot oil.
  • Protect your tabletop by placing the fondue pot on a sturdy trivet.
If you ever wanted to get in on a fad, this is the one. Try these easy recipes and get started today. But, remember, no double dipping!
