A fondue party is a great way to have a dinner party. All the prep can be done before the guests arrive and the host can enjoy the meal and their company without running back and forth from the kitchen to the dinner table.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal live. John 3:16 (NIV)

Okay, so lets get you cooking. First thing you'll need to try fondue is a fondue pot. The electric fondue pots are best for a beginner. Just plug them in, set the temp and you're all set. There are also ceramic pots and metal pots that you could use but you can't cook hot oil fondue in a ceramic pot and the metal pots aren't great for cheese fondue. The electric fondue pots are the most versatile and they are even made dishwasher safe now.

Classic Cheese Fondue. is the first recipe you should try. When people talk about fondue this is what they are talking about. Remember to use the real Gruyere and Emnenthaler cheeses and not some swiss from the supermarket. You'll taste the difference and so will your guests.

Classic Cheese Fondue

1/2 lb Emnenthaler Cheese (shredded)
1/2 lb Gruyeye (shredded)
1 clove Garlic
2 cups Dry White Wine
1 tbs Lemon Juice
2 tbs Flour
3 tbs Kirsch (also known as Kirschwasser - cherry brandy)
1/4 tsp White Pepper
Nutmeg and / or Paprika to taste

Rub the inside of the fondue pot with the garlic clove - add clove to pot or disgard it (your choice)

Heat up the White Wine & Lemon Juice - should be hot but do not boil

Reduce heat to low and slowly add cheese while stirring

Slowly add remainder of ingredients while stirring

To Dip:

Italian Bread (or any crusty bread) cut into bite-sized cubes

Vegetables - Broccoli, Cauliflower, Bell Peppers, etc.

Fondue Tips & Traditions:

• If the fondue is too hard add more wine.
• If the fondue is too soft add more cheese.
• Have your guests stir in a figure eight pattern each time they dip something.
• Tradition says that if the item you're dipping comes off of your fork: Men-Next round of drinks is on you, Women-You must kiss the man to your left
• Make up your own traditions. The ones above are outdated and sound a little chauvinistic to me.
• Cold drinks are not usually served.
• The traditional drink for fondue is hot tea or the wine that you used to cook with.
• Ignore the rules and serve Merlot. It goes great with cheese fondue.
