Provided by Anna Glover

Categories     Dinner

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

200ml dry white wine
1 tbsp lemon juice
200g comte or gruyère, grated
200g emmental, grated
2 tsp cornflour

Tips:

  • Choose the right wine: For a flavorful fondue, select a dry white wine with a good acidity, such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio. If you prefer a red wine fondue, choose a light-bodied red wine with low tannins, such as Pinot Noir or Beaujolais.
  • Use quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your fondue will be. Use freshly grated cheese, good-quality wine, and fresh herbs and spices.
  • Don't overheat the fondue: Fondue should be kept at a gentle simmer, not a boil. Overheating can cause the cheese to separate and become grainy.
  • Stir the fondue constantly: This will help to prevent the cheese from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
  • Serve the fondue with a variety of dippers: Bread, vegetables, and meat are all popular choices. You can also offer different dipping sauces, such as ketchup, mustard, or barbecue sauce.

Conclusion:

Fondue is a delicious and versatile dish that is perfect for a party or a special occasion. With so many different variations to choose from, there's sure to be a fondue recipe that everyone will enjoy. So gather your friends and family, and enjoy a delightful fondue feast!
