Book Description

Publication Date: March 2002

Easy, inexpensive, and fun to eat for everyone--no wonder fondue is back in style! Whether as a main course or a scrumptious dessert (like a mouthwatering chocolate mint version, served with raspberries and bananas), it's the meal in a dish that makes a party. More than 50 incredible recipes feature cheese, vegetable, meat, and sinfully sweet variations. Be a traditionalist with Neuchatel fondue, made with Emmental and Gruyere cheeses: bread is the dipper of choice here. Chop up a nice mix of fresh spring vegetables--button mushrooms, cauliflower, broccoli, carrots--and dunk them into a special batter of flour, oil, and egg whites; tomato relish on the side provides the perfect finishing touch. Or, try a tempura, seafood, and white wine fondue: Mongolian lamb hot pot; and even one with melted ice cream! The choices are endless.and will have you reaching for your fondue pot night after night.

This review is from: Fondue Cookbook (Paperback)

A friend of mine bought me a fondue pot as a gift so I set out in search of a good fondue cookbook. When I found this book I was thrilled - cheese appetizers, entire meals cooked in oil or stock type fondue pots, and marvelous chocolate desserts!! As I started trying the recipies I found several of the ingrediants diffictult to find in my small town grocery store, but having lived in cities I am sure the ingrediant list would have been easier to fill were I still there. The beginning of the book is full of helpful tips and advice but sometimes I found the recipies to be less specific that I wanted. Not every recipe is pictured, but those that are look much better than how mine turned out. I will say though, everything I've tried, even with some substitutions, has been good. The dessert section is the best and there are some great recipies for banana fondue, ice cream fondue and some other tasty treats I didn't see elsewhere. Being new to fondue I went back to find a simpler book but I am growing into this one. If you're looking to really dazzle your company and understand fondue this is a great resource!! If you're just learning - come back to this book, it will be more enjoyable once you've tried some simpler recipies.
