5.0 out of 5 stars must have book for the occasional party host & gourmet!, April 22, 1998

By A Customer

Fondue isn't something you make on a daily basis, but after buying this book, you will find yourself setting up the pot and burner much more often. We chose this particular fondue book because of the fantastic selection of types of fondues, from cheese to oil to dessert. Within these different types, there are recipes to cater to cooks who enjoy making challenging gourmet recipes with hard-to-find ingredients, as well as recipes at the opposite end of the spectrum for quick and delicious low-budget fondues with every day ingredients. The book also gives succinct and useful equipment and preparation tips. We've yet to host a fondue party without rave reviews for the main attraction dish - thanks to this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Looks dork-tastic, but don't let that stop you, September 30, 2001

By	C. Clement "Life's a journey - pack your Spar... (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The pictures in this book are hilarious, because they are from another era, bless this little book's heart.

However, the recipes are quite wonderful and tasty. I have not tried anywhere near the 200 recipes. However, the ones I have tried are excellent! My favorite is the Toblerone Fondue. MMMM! Be sure to save extra room if that is dessert!

My friends love when I announce fondue night, and later they ask me for recipes when they host their own. With this book I have more than enough ideas for myself and to share.

Also, the book includes raclette recipes. I think that's nice, now that I have a raclette grill.

Bottom line is, don't let the pictures get you down or fool you, the recipes and fondue history in this book are great.

5.0 out of 5 stars Recipies are as easy as they are delicious!, February 8, 2004

By	D. Lacy (Palo Alto, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I found many amazing Fondue recipes in this book. My favorites are the Classic Fondue (always a hit); the Dill Fondue and the Toblerone Fondue. I throw a big fondue party every year, featuring four types of cheese fondue and two dessert fondues. The recipes in this book have never let me down. They are delicious and easy to prepare. This book is highly recommended.
