TRADITIONAL SWISS FONDUE

Steps:

• Step 1 Rub the inside of a small saucepan with the cut garlic cloves, and then discard them. Adjust the saucepan to medium heat. Add the wine and lemon juice, and bring to a simmer. Step 2 Gradually add the cheese and the cornstarch, stirring constantly. Step 3 Add the Kirsch, if using, and stir constantly with a wooden spoon in a "figure eight" motion until the mixture has thickened, about five minutes. Step 4 Preheat your fondue pot, season the cheese with salt and pepper to taste, and then transfer to the fondue pot. Serve with cubed bread and assorted accompaniments (see below for ideas!)
• Step 1 In a fondue pot, combine all broth, garlic, water, soy sauce, Worcestershire, bay leaf, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer. Step 2 Dip meats and seafood and leave in broth until fully cooked thru. Pair with sauces, suggestions below.

Stir in butter, cocoa powder, vanilla and cinnamon. Step 2 Transfer to a fondue pot Step 3 keep warm, stirring occasionally. If fondue becomes too thick, stir in more cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, to desired consistency. Step 4 Serve with your favorite dessert dippers, see below for suggestions.

CHEESE FONDUE

Steps:

• Cut the baguette into bite-size pieces, and put in a serving bowl. Scrub the potatoes, and transfer to a pot of water over medium heat; boil until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain, and set aside to cool in a serving bowl.
• When you're about 15 minutes from sitting down at the table, rub the inside of a fondue pot with the cut end of the garlic, then discard the garlic. Whisk together the wine and cornstarch, then pour through a fine-mesh strainer into the fondue pot. Put the pot over medium heat and continue to whisk until the liquid comes to a simmer, then turn down the heat a little and ditch the whisk for a wooden spoon. Add the Gruyère and Appenzeller, gently stirring to help it heat and melt evenly. When it's almost smooth, turn the heat down to low, and add the Vacherin Fribourgeois. It might look alternately lumpy and oily, but keep stirring, and it will get smooth again.
• At this point, you may need to adjust the texture of the fondue to make it just right for dipping. If it's too thick and resisting the wooden spoon, add a splash of white wine to thin it slightly. Season with a tablespoon of kirschwasser and a few grinds of black pepper, and stir well. Take the fondue pot to the table, where you can keep it warm over a lit Sterno, and stir it occasionally to keep the bottom from browning. (If it gets too hot and you have an adjustable lid for the flame, turn it down or off. If it cools too much and solidifies, carry it back to the kitchen and stir it over higher heat.) Serve with bread, potatoes and cornichons on the side.
• When you get down to the bottom of the pot, if you've still got an appetite, crack an egg directly into the fondue pot, and let it cook over the last bits of browning cheese. When the white is about set but the yolk is still runny, turn off the heat below the pot, and dip in any remaining bread.

AUTHENTIC ORIGINAL TRADITIONAL SWISS FONDUE (OLD WORLD RECIPE)

Steps:

• The optimal choice of pots is a steel or cast iron medium sized pot (2 quart) with an enameled interior.
• In a medium sized bowl, combine the three cheeses and toss with the flour.
• Rub the inside of the fondue pot with the garlic halves.
• Add the wine and heat over medium heat until hot, but not boiling.
• Stir in lemon juice and kirsch.
• Add a handful of cheese at a time to the wine mixture, stirring constantly and not adding more cheese until the previous has melted, bubbling gently and has the appearance of a light creamy sauce season with pepper and nutmeg.
• Remove the pot from the heat and place over an alcohol safety burner on the table.
• Adjust the burner flame so the fondue continues to bubble gently.
• Serve with plenty of crusty bread cubes.

CHEESE FONDUE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, coat the cheeses with cornstarch and set aside. Rub the inside of the ceramic fondue pot with the garlic, then discard.
• Over medium heat, add the wine and lemon juice and bring to a gentle simmer. Gradually stir the cheese into the simmering liquid. Melting the cheese gradually encourages a smooth fondue. Once smooth, stir in cherry brandy, mustard and nutmeg.
• Arrange an assortment of bite-sized dipping foods on a lazy Susan around fondue pot. Serve with chunks of French and pumpernickel breads. Some other suggestions are Granny Smith apples and blanched vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, carrots and asparagus. Spear with fondue forks or wooden skewers, dip, swirl and enjoy!

CLASSIC CHEESE FONDUE

Steps:

• Add white wine, cherry brandy, garlic clove, cayenne, nutmeg, and cornstarch to a saucepan. Whisk to combine and place on the stove over medium heat. Cook, whisking occasionally, until mixture thickens slightly and you can see wisps of steam in the pan, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Add Gruyere and Emmentaler cheeses, one handful at a time, slowly whisking after each addition until melted. Continue whisking until all cheese is melted and sauce is very smooth. Remove from the heat and transfer into a fondue pot to serve.
• Keep sauce warm while serving so it doesn't solidify.
