Focus on Fondue Winter always makes us think of fondue. The
tradition of Cheese Fondue is said to have originated in Switzerland in the 19th
Century. Legend has it that during one particularly frigid winter in the high
Alps, a rural mountain family was completely isolated due to a series of
avalanches. With fresh food becoming scarce, the family found itself staring at
some stale bread and a supply of cheeses produced the summer before. Due to
their poor storage, the cheeses had turned too hard and leathery to eat. Out of
necessity, the woman of the house chopped off portions of the different cheeses,
melted them in a pot and blended them together. As it turned out, this was
exactly what the stale cheese needed to make it more palatable. Sitting around
the pot (the cheese still bubbling), the family dunked chunks of the stale bread
in the molten cheese, resulting in a delicious combination! Word then spread
about this now-famous hot cheese meal and a tradition was born. Over time,
people added wines and seasonings to the blend of melted cheeses, enhancing and
diversifying the fondue recipe. In America, fondue has been a very trendy food
style, dropping in and out of popularity. It was a popular dish for dinner
parties in the fifties, sixties and seventies, but fell out of favor in the
eighties. Just as tight-fitting clothes and the Volkswagen Beetle returned, so
has fondue, which is now "in" again. A new generation is discovering that fondue
is a great centerpiece for intimate entertaining. But, as a Google search on "fondue recipes" reveals, there are now hundreds of
variations on the typical recipe, incorporating different cheeses and
flavorings. Different bread styles or even carrot sticks can add variety as
well. You can buy all the cheeses you need for fondue at the igourmet.com
