From the Author
Finally...a fondue book for today's cooks!
Fondue can be fun--it's a great way to entertain, especiallyduring cold winter weather. It can be romantic--just the thing for a couple to share for a romantic Valentine's Day dinner. But, until Fondue: Great Food to Dip, Dunk, Savor, and Swirl ,fondue suffered from an image problem.

There are a few fondue books available, but a lot of the recipes were outdated, or used impossible to get cheeses (not surprising, as most of the books were European- or Australian-published). For my own fondue parties, I realized I'd have to invent new fondues for my today's global, more sophisticated tastes. I devised new recipes with contemporary flavors--like Smoky Cheddar and Apple Cider Fondue, and retro ones like Peanut Butter and Milk Chocolate. Other favorites use flavors like lemongrass, roasted garlic, sundried tomatoes, caramelized onions, pesto, dried mushrooms--all things that don't go so well with those old "can of soup" fondue recipes. Fondue is rarely lowfat, but is an feel-good indulgence like iced martinis, fine cigars, tasty steaks, and mashed potatoes--all pretty hot items on the restaurant and home entertaining circuit. I also include a chapter on Asian hot pots, which are really lowfat fondues, with meats and vegetables cooked in simmering broth and served with dipping sauces.
