can i create romantic fondue recipes at home? if so how?

Answer 1

There are two ways to make fondue at home. Whichever way, you'll need a good fondue set. If you don't have one, browse the sets (big and small) here: http://www.foodvirgin.com/shop.htm .

Once you have a set, you'll need to either a) make fondue from scratch, or b) buy a box to make it at the grocery store. Even if you're a good cook, getting the consistency of fondue right can be difficult. I've tried to make it twice now, and the first time, it turned out well, but the second time, it tasted good, but turned into one giant lump. A tasty lump, but still a lump.

With chocolate, the likelihood of a recipe from scratch turning out OK is better, but it is so much easier to use the fondue tablets that you can buy that I have yet to actually make it from scratch.

Answer 2

Cheese Fondue
This classic recipe is delicious, smooth, and creamy. Be sure to light the candle or sterno can under the fondue pot to heat it before you pour the melted cheese mixture into the pot.
Mild Cheese Fondue
This fondue, without wine or alcohol, is made by creating a roux and a white sauce, then melting the cheese in the sauce. It's just as rich and flavorful as the first recipe, but a bit easier to make.
