Cheese Fondue (Tyler Florence)
"I know that Fondue orginated from the Swiss, but this recipe was listed under Scandanavian at the other site when I used "scandanavian" as a search word. Either way, it sounds delish! I think I will add one more clove of garlic since we are such garlic fiends. From Food Network, Tyler Florence. Posted for ZWT 2010."

Scoutie, DH and I thought your version of fondue was great! :-) I reduced it by half, for 2 of us, and there was a bit leftover. I used both the swiss and gruyere, for creamy, string-y goodness! Loved the hint of kirsch and mustard; I've never used dry mustard in a fondue before, so that was different! Served with crusty french bread and granny smith and fuji apples, I'll put this one in my keeper file! Thanks for sharing, Scoutie. Made for ZWT.

<p>Hello all, being from California, I can honestly say I am a foodie. You can walk by construction workers here and hear them saying things like, So I used some fresh garlic and olive oil, then threw the rest into the pan to sautee. LOL I love all kinds of food, and trying to eat healthier as I get older, but still indulge in the occasional deep-fried food or sweet. <br />I LOVE this site! I have 3 or 4 other food sites such as Epicurious and Food Network, but I always come back here! The ease and all of the features just can't be beat. <br />Thanks Zaar and I look forward to participating more.</p>
