Book Reviews of The 125 Best Fondue Recipes
Book Review: Do You Fondue?
Summary: 5 Stars
I used to "do fondue" all the time when I was first married. You remember...the metal pot on a stand with a mini-sterno beneath to melt the cheese. Then came the chunks of bread on skewers for dipping. Ahhh...good times with pleasant company and a good bottle of wine. Anyway, time went on and the fondue pot got shoved in the back of a cupboard somewhere. Then my niece got engaged and that Christmas I decided to give the happy couple a fondue set (electric, no less). What an improvement! Now all I needed was a great fondue recipe book and this is it! They loved it! The book is full of simple to prepare fondue recipes and suggestions for all types of fondue sauces and dippers. When a cookbook makes me hungry, it's a good sign. This one made me want to "do fondue" all over again.Book Review: Don't know how to Fondue? Now you do!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is the best! my sister bought it for me along with a Cuisinart fondue pot for Christmas (all purchased on Amazon) and wow did it save me. I have always been a fan of fondue,but never had the pot or the sense to actually learn what I was going to do once I got the pot. WELL, this book is my little fondue for dummies! It has EVERYTHING you need to know about meat,cheese,and desert fondues. It also has a great section in the back on condiments that go with each recipe, or heck go with anything! This book is a great addition to anyone looking to get in to fondues or as an addition to the gift of a fondue pot.Book Review: Fantastic - the best of the fondue cookbooks
Summary: 5 Stars
I am an avid chef, and I LOVE fondue. I researched LOTS of fondue cookbooks, and this one has fantastic recipes. I think the reason I particularly love it is because we like to make fondue in a more healthful style (i.e., not cooking meat in boiling oil) and this book has an entire chapter just on fantastic broth recipes. In the end, if you cook shrimp, lamb, and flank steak in chicken broth, red wine, mushrooms, and garlic, you have yourself a very healthy meal! You'll love this book...it also gives GREAT fondue cooking tips in the whole first section.Book Review: Yum..Yum..
Summary: 4 Stars
This one is great, although I have an electric metal fondue pot that has the non-stick coating.......I use it for both cheese and broth. I made the Beer Cheese Fondue for a party and everyone loved it, even if it did stink a little! (The beer)
The recipes say to cook in another pan then transfer to the fondue pot when ready to serve........not necessary if you have an electric non stick fondue pot. I got mine at Target!!! Sweet deal!
Book Review: Fondu book
Summary: 1 Stars
When I purchased my LeCruset fondu pot, there was a wonderful paperback
recipe book beside it. Sadly, I thought the price was too high...and
based on the reviews at Amazon I purchased this book. Its paper is
not as nice, its presentations (pictures) are not as nice...and it
won't lie flat. With this type of cooking, I think it is nice to have
the better pictures and presentations...and the more expensive book.
