I assumed it was supposed to be 1/2lb of gruyere, we didn't have any so we used mozerella. It was good but I had to add about 1/2 cup more liquid, we used chicken stock. Okay I read this review and I thought who is the goofball who changed the recipe so much and then gave it 4 stars. I realized I was that goofball. So I made it just as written and we loved it. I didn't need to change a thing. It was perfect, sorry for the first review, let's just say I was young and stupid. -
I will be making this fondue for the third time tomorrow night, and I can honestly say this is the best fondue I have ever had! (And that is including dessert fondues!) Absolutely delicious with bread and my personal favorite, steamed brocolli. If you want a DIVINE combination, serve it with cubes of Recipe #64446, Romano's Macaroni Grill Bread. MMM! The only change I needed to make, as others have mentioned, was to use about 2 cups of the white wine instead of the 1 1/4 cups in order to get the right consistency. But my mouth is watering just thinking about it... -
This was a huge hit! I only had fairly sweet wine in the house, so used some dry sherry and chicken broth in addition to the wine to balance the sweetness. We dipped blanched green beans, broccoli and cauliflower in addition to the bread. Yum! -
I really enjoyed this fondue. I've never made anything but chocolate so I wasn't 100% on what the consistency should be. I ended up adding more wine while it was in the fondue to thin it out. Probably another 1/2 c - 3/4 c. I would definately make this again. I also used black pepper since I had no white pepper. Yummy! -
I liked this because it was easy, easy, easy --- and tasty. The garlic gives it a bit more interest over some other fondues.

Very busy nanny/au pair, working for a very rich and snooty family, in a very large home, in a very snooty village. Just in case my employer comes here, please don't ask where I am from, or I'll be sacked like the last nanny was. ;-) I take care of 4 gorgeous, and darling kids. 3 girls and a boy. The boy is the youngest (and my favorite). They are great children, very, very active. (Hyper)
I love to cook. I guess that's a given, why else would I be here. Part of my job is also to prepare meals for the family. The more they like my food, the longer I get to stay. (just a little joke)
On my day off, I usually go out to the cinema or some dance clubs with the other au pairs in this town. That's about it I think.
