The Fondue Cookbook

When you think of flavorful and convivial tabletop dining, fondues immediately spring to mind. The word fondue comes from the French fondre, meaning "to melt" or "to blend," as originally this Swiss national dish was made with cheese melted in wine. Fondues have recently had a resurgence of interest, and it's easy to see why. A fondue is a simple and often inexpensive dish to serve at a casual lunch or dinner party, where it can be used either as a main course or a dessert (or even both). Since most of the preparation can be done in advance, you can have more time to spend with your guests. A further benefit is that as so many ingredients lend themselves to fondue-making, you can create a diverse range of fantastic dishes, both savory and sweet. The Fondue Cookbook contains a selection of over 50 mouthwatering recipes for cheese fondues, vegetable fondues, meat fondues, fish fondues, and dessert fondues. Recipes such as Asparagus and Blue Cheese Fondue, Crab Fondue, Fondue Bourguignonne, and a sinfully delicious Mocha Fondue will have you reaching for the fondue pot night after night! The Fondue Cookbook is a luscious collection of internationally inspired recipes and an essential cookbook for anyone who loves entertaining friends and family. Book jacket.
