fondue

It's no secret - we love cheese.  And anytime cheese can be the star of a meal, we are all in!  Fondue is one of our favorite and extravagant meals to make.  It is perfect for entertaining and can make for a very interactive experience for all.  We definitely recommend using a high quality cheese, which is what we have done here, and grate your own!  We used Emmental and Swiss cheese for this fondue.

Once the cheese is grated (about 3 cups), you can add it to your fondue pot, along with 2 Tbsp of freshly chopped garlic,  2 Tbsp Kirschwasser (cherry flavored liquor), and a half cup of chardonnay.

Keep adding the grated cheese and it will all meld together to become one glorious pot of bubbly cheesy goodness.  We chopped french bread, olive loaf bread and salami as well as vegetables like broccoli, cornichons (small pickles), and cauliflower.  It's nice to have a variety.

This is a wonderful dinner party idea and something that everyone can be involved with.  And of course it goes great with Chardonnay!
