Fondue Recipes

Fun, sexy and alluring... fondue has been the culinary bedrock of parties for decades. Friends and families around the globe have enjoyed sharing hundreds of creative fondue recipes that ignite the taste buds. While meat fondue can provide the heart of a meal, chocolate fondue draped over fruit, brownies and marshmallows can offer a mouthwatering finale.

Preparing fondue is what makes the experience unique. It's a chance for everyone to participate in making the meal, yet it requires very little effort. The cheese, sauce, or chocolate is heated in a saucepan. Meats, fruits, vegetables and cubes of cheese can be prepared for dipping. Once heated, the mixture in the saucepan can be placed in the fondue pot to be enjoyed by everyone.

Having a fondue party makes for a great evening, however there are several things you might like to take into consideration when thinking about who and how many guests to invite to your fondue party:

1. How many fondue forks to you have? Each guest will need one of these specialty long handled-forks, which can usually be found at kitchenware stores or online at reasonable prices. If you don't have or can't get fondue forks, why not try skewers?
2. How many fondue pots do you have? Ideally, have one pot per 4 or 5 guests, but this can be stretched out a bit if you need to.
3. How many people can you fit around your table?
