Fondue might be best for a holiday party or get-together. It will add a retro appeal to the celebration, and it is quick and easy to prepare. If you have a fondue set at home, it is time to dig it out of the back of the cupboard. Don’t worry if you don’t have one.
The following recipes will prove that you don’t necessarily need one. Use a crockpot, a cast-iron skillet, or simply place a medium ramekin on a metal rack above a tea light. The oozing, warm cheese is perfect on cold evenings, and it will make you feel like you are in Switzerland or France, where the traditional fondue comes from.
Dip toasted sourdough bread, vegetables, or pretzels into a bubbling pot of gruyère and wine and sip white wine, champagne, or kirsch with your fondue meal.
