Want wine with that?
The earliest known recipe for cheese fondue appeared in a cookbook published in Zurich under the name "Käss mit Wein zu kochen" — "to cook cheese with wine." It calls for grated or cut-up cheese to be melted with wine, and for bread to be dipped in it.
Fondue is one of the tastiest, coziest, and most social meals you can put together, so it makes sense to celebrate this truly wonderful dish in the blustery month of November. Can’t make it out to the famed restaurant La Buvette des Bains in Geneva to try the truly authentic version of fondue? Not to worry. With the right cooking equipment, fondue is easy enough to make and share with your favorite people during National Fondue Lovers Month. Oh, and no double-dipping!
