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.
