Gave it to my mom for the holidays. She made a few of the recipes contained within it. A cheese fondue: a little too salty. A Hot oil and various sauces: 1. peanut=pretty good. 2. some kind of garlic dip=very good. 3. A wasabi soy sauce sauce=amazing. Also made a chocolate Kahlua dessert fondue=Quite delicious, especially with the pound cake she made to dip in it.

Lots of recipes, so if you come across one that's sub-par there are plenty of others that are great.

I'd recommend it.

We've done fondue with friends for a while now. I got this book, considering whether it was worth it, when so many recipes are on the internet. It's worth it. There are some fantastic recipes, unlike any of the more bland ones I've found online. Some of the guidance and suggestions really add just the right touch to the recipe.

Enjoyed the book and the recipes. Alot of good suggestions and pointers for successful fondue cooking. I did not find a list of recommended dippers for each fondue type though. I did find them in my fondue pot booklet though. Would have liked more photos.
