Cheese Fondue is very retro and a fun way cook and eat every now and again, though full of calcium cheese is really fatty so dont over doo it.

I found this quick and easy recipe on:

There are also some other great recipes on this website so it is worth checking out if you want some new cooking ideas or just feel like trying something new.

Cheesey fondue was easy and fast to cook and the fondue was fun and tasted great, it was a great sucess for me and my boyfriend. I plan to cook it again some time as a treat, though it is high in fat so I will only be cooking it from time to time.

The ingredients that you will need to make the fondie are:
2 cloves Garlic, roughly chopped
2 tsp potato starch, cornflour or arrowroot
250ml dry White wine
560g assorted Swiss cheese (Gruyere, Emmenthal, Appenzaller, Begnes, Vacherin Fribourgeouis etc)- I used a cheeses assortment pack from tescos to ensure that the cheeses would be complimentary as I dont know much about cheese
60ml kirsch
freshly ground black pepper
freshly grated Nutmeg
some vegetables for dipping

All the ingredients here arent completely necessary, but they do make a really good fondue, I didnt use garlic when I was cooking mine as my boyfriend isnt a fan.

The method to make the fondue is:
1. Smear the garlic around the inside of the fondue pot and drop the bits into the base.

2. Dissolve the arrowroot in a little of the kirsch and reserve. Make sure your guests are ready to start dipping.

3. Add the wine and the cheese to the fondue pot and stir over a moderate heat until all the cheese has melted.

4. Pour in the arrowroot mixture and add the remaining kirsch, stirring constantly.

5. Season well with freshly ground black pepper and grated nutmeg to taste, then carry over to the table and place immediately over the fondue burner. Eat immediately with chunks of bread and vegetable crudités.

Overall I think that this is a great recipe that you can change a bit to suit your tastes which is always a plus, I plan to make it again as fondue is always fun to make and eat, though I must admit, I do prefere chocolate fondue and it is a lot easier to find the ingredients for a chocolate fondue.
