Fondue,

It was from old Swiss villages and towns, cut off from the rest of the world by winter snows, that fondue first emerged--a tasty solution to the scarcity of fresh food and the abundance of cheese. Today, fondues come in an exciting range of sweet and savory dishes, easy to dress up or down, and perfect for any occasion. Fondue includes 40 delicious new fondues, from classic cheeses to Oriantal soups, and indulgent desserts. There are inspirational ideas for dippers, including Pesto Palmiers, Polenta-coated Bubble and Squeak cakes, and Coconut Meringues. Recipes include: Italian cheese fondue; Cheese, leek, and mushroom fondue; Beer-battered cod in hot oil fondue with tartare sauce; Sweet and sour fondue; Fondue Bourguignon; Bittersweet chocolate fondue; Plum and Amaretto fondue; Toffee Fondue; and more.
