Tis the season to party, and my favorite type of party has always been getting together with a few close friends. This is the ideal setting for having a fondue party.
I hadn't thought about my parents old, bright orange fondue set in years and then I came across the page "How to Entertain With Fondue Parties" and found that it is still a popular way to share a good time. The writer, and fondue expert, is rtabel and he sure seems to know everything about making a fondue party successful.
Hosting any type of party can be stressful for the host or hostess who must make sure that the food is hot and ready to eat and pleasing to the guests. Instead of taking her (or him) away from the guests during the party, they can be enjoying themselves right along with everyone else because the food will be prepared ahead of time and everyone will literally make their own meal.
Included in this article are recipes and the items needed for cooking and serving, as you would expect, but rtabel also covers the etiquette involved in eating this unique way and he brings up some great points that you may never think of until you are sitting in front of a fondue pot. He even includes a list of cheeses that could be used together for making a cheese fondue, saying that only cheeses of similar characteristics should be combined. He advises using certain types of pots for the various oil, cheeses or chocolate, and helps with tips on figuring portions needed to supply just the right amount of food according to the number of guests.
A brief history near the beginning of the page tells the reader where the idea to eat this way came from and then at the end of the page he tells us of some cute traditions which could be incorporated into your party to spice up the evening! (Read about those in the "Fondue Etiquette" section of his article).
If you are looking for ideas for a different type of gathering during the holidays, or at any time of year, consider the fun of fondue.
