2.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy this book, July 5, 2005

By	W. Rothman - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was totally disappointed with Fondue It! I expected a jumping off point closer to traditional fondue, but instead, the majority of the book deals with elaborate recipes -- spring rolls, grilled polenta -- that are better suited to kitchen preparation, not around the fondue pot, with full guest interaction. Also, the book was laid out in an amateurish, hard to follow way. It was really not what I, as an experienced cook but a beginner at home fondue, was looking for.

4.0 out of 5 stars I can't wait to get it, January 4, 2002

By	C. Wade (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I purchased this book for my cousin as a Christmas present this year. I looked at all of the recipes and decieded that I needed a fondue pot! My husband got me the fondue pot, now I must get this book. There is such a variety of things to make in this book from your basic cheese fondue to dishes I hadn't even thought of making in a fondue pot.
