Fondue FunCookingTired of working in the kitchen? Solution - bring fondue to the table! Any time is the right time for fondue - with family, guests, or as a party. In the 18th century, creating a way to utilize hardened cheese and bread, the Swiss melted the cheese, added wine and dunked bread cubes in the mixture. The name itself came from the French work "fonder" which means "to melt". We will create fondues from around the world: Traditional Cheese, Classic Swiss Cheese, Beef Bourguignonne, Crab, Blue Cheese and Tempura.
