Fondue Paperback – Bargain Price, September 1, 2001

Great book, especially like the chapter on Asian broth cooking- Shabu Shabu, Sukiyaki, and Korean and Mongolian Hot Pot. (pgs. 34 - 65)

Great recipes

I bought this gift for a friend of mine for her birthday and have decided to keep the book and buy another one for her. This is a wonderful, descriptive book. It's filled with tips and pictures. I'm the type of person that wants to see what something looks like and every page has at least one picture. It tells you what type of pots are good for what, gives you tips if you are using oil, broth, sauces, ... I think this is a wonderful book. I don't think you will be disappointed with this purchase. We were going to give my friend our fondue kit, but after reading this book, we are now keeping it and will be getting her a new one. (Smile)

I ordered this book after reading a customer review stating it had lots of background information on selecting a fondue pot and preparing oils and broths, as well as lots of pictures. That's defintiely true. But MOST of these recipes require tools I don't have, or such strange cheeses or seasonings I have NO idea where I would find them. I was hoping to make something for my husband for Valentine's Day - there are about 3 recipes that look appealing ot me, after browsing the recipes for the past hour. Very frustrating.

This is a wonderful Fondue recipe book, as well as an instructional book for for novice Fonduers. In the opening chapters you get a description of Fondue utensils as well as a lesson on how to properly prepare your Fondue ingredients, this can be of utmost importance, especially when using meants. Descibed in great detail are the various cheeses one will use in making Fondue.Most of the recipes are very easy to follow, you even get pointers on what typeof alcohol is best served with your Fondue of the moment, if you are inclined to drink alcohol this canbe helpful.Highly recommend.
