Book Reviews of The 125 Best Fondue Recipes

Book Review: A poor fondue book - limited vision, limited recipes
Summary: 2 Stars

This book would get 2 stars, but, at this price, one really can't complain.
However, if you're looking for interesting recipes, but are perhaps somewhat harder to find ingredients for, see "Fondues from around the world" instead, also sold from Amazon.

More on "125 best recipes" book:

Here's what's good about this book:
1) easy, accessible (in terms of finding the recipe in the book, and obtaining ingredients), recipes.
2) cover's various styles of fondues ... but I expect that out of any devoted fondue book.

Here's what's flawed:
1) This is a 125 *best* fondue recipe book. There are many recipes in this book explicitly designed for kids, as if parents don't know what their kids like, or that kids have a discriminating (perhaps picky though) palate? These are simply wasted pages. It's like finding a watered down mac and cheese recipe -several times- in your shiny new cookbook, which, in this case, happens to be titled, *best* fondue recipes...
2) limited vision: most of the cheese fondue recipes (for example) are exactly the same: same cheeses, etc., with 1 or 2 different final ingredients. These could have easily been collapsed into one recipe, saving space for something more novel, for example, in the cheese section.
3) Each recipe comes with a little "serve with" section, but these parts are clearly hurried, and unresearched. Most of the cheese recipes are "serve with bread" etc. Nothing most readers won't already know. This section should state something more interesting: like trying the brie fondue with *pear* wedges (my suggestion)

Summary of The 125 Best Fondue Recipes

Think of food that s made for enjoying in the company of family and friends. Food that offers a limitless variety of ingredients, flavors and cooking styles - and, best of all, is amazingly easy to prepare. What have you got? Fondue, of course!

Now, with The 125 Best Fondue Recipes, you can explore a whole new world beyond the familiar cheese and chocolate fondues. Discover the possibilities of hot oil fondues with tantalizing recipes such as Ginger Beef Fondue, Zesty Lime Chicken and Tempura Cauliflower. Experience savory broth fondues such as Mongolian Hot Pot, Honey Garlic Chicken Fondue and Thai Pork Fondue in Lemongrass Broth. These fondues not only taste great, but are kind to your waistline!

Of course, no fondue book can ignore the traditional favorites. And here cheese fondue gets an innovative spin with recipes such as Emmentaler Fondue with Caramelized Shallots and Cheddar Cheese and Beer Fondue. Similarly, no true fondue meal is complete without a chocolate-, fruit- or liqueur-based dessert. So you'll want to sample such decadent finishes as Bittersweet Chocolate Fondue, White Chocolate and Toffee or Cherries Jubilee Fondue.

And because fondues are all about dipping (and tasting!), it only makes sense that The 125 Best Fondue Recipes features some 20 dips and sauces that are specially designed to complement the recipes in the book. Also included are menu planning suggestions, a guide to using and maintaining different types of fondue pots, as well as tips and techniques for making your next fondue meal an event to remember.

For the new or experienced fondue maker, The 125 Best Fondue Recipes is the complete resource.
