I SECOND THAT WOW! This was sooooo good! I'd never made fondue before, and this was very easy. We are lucky where we live, as the store has a great variety of cheeses, so getting the exact ingredients was no problem. Thanks Mimi! Abbey -
Loved this recipe just as it was - also tried it without the shallot and added a bit of cayenne. Best cheese fondue I've had. -
First time making fondue. This was delicious. Thank you- now I want to make all different sorts of fondue. Loved it and will definitely make again.

Too much for even two servings. We served pears (red and green), fried bacon (leftovers), salami, carrot, peapods and cubed and toasted baguette and pumpernickel breads. It turned out fine, but just got burnt out on the flavor too quickly.

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.
