Fondue Books

Good recipes in this book and very nice acompanying color pictures with descriptions. I have such a soft spot for these70's style cook books and this one fits the bill perfectly!

This is a wonderful book--best plain swiss cheese/gruyere fondue. Also creamy ham rolls. Fried cheese. Out of print, grab this if you can get it, no matter what the condition, you won't regret it, I lOVE mine, have lovingly used it for over 25 years.

This is a fabulous fondue cookbook. Fondue cooking has regained popularity in recent years. However, fondue pots and fondue cookbooks are hard to find. This is a really good cookbook for any level of fondue chef! It includes menus, and recipes for every course, party ideas, and chafing dish favorites! You will love this cookbook!

This has become a favorite over the last 15 years. Now that our daughter is married and entertaining, I am ordering a copy for her kitchen.

Dips are a mainstay of American entertaining, and this recipe book offers marvelously delicious and unique dips for all occassions. With 125 recipes and numerous tips, Susan Puckett's book is easy to read, presenting a new recipe on each page. The ingredients are readily available and creatively combined.And the book's price makes it a fun hostess gift!

I used mine on the beach as the sun went down it was great. I also used it while camping. Easy cleanup. Candles are cheap.Great to have and has many multiple uses.

This is a wonderful little book, at a great price, ...if you are looking for tasty appetizers. There are five or six brief fondue recipes, and the rest of the slim volume is dedicated to fabulous snack foods. I was expecting 64 pages of fondues (most of which I would probably never try), so I was a little surprised. However, how can you beat the price? The most basic fondues are included, with one or two more gourmet (yet simple)types. There are several recipes per page for the entire 64 pages. Its a great bargain. Recommended to the novice fondue chef or anyone wanting some unusual ideas for appetizers.

This book is a classic and a must for every fondue enthusiast. Fred's style is as warm and inviting as the recipes he presents. I particularly enjoyed his anecdotes regarding the history of fondue. I was intrigued that his first edition of the book, written over 35 years ago, was published under the pen name of M.N. Thaler, a take off on the name of the popular fondue cheese emmenthaler. I also enjoyed the fact that the book covered many different styles of fondue cooking including cheese, meat in oil, broth, vegetable, and dessert.

I got this fountain for Christmas and used it shortly after. I didn't use chocolate chips for it, instead I used almond bark that is a block of chocolate and half the price of chocolate chips. Because it is meant for dipping I didn't have to thin it with vegtable oil and it only took 2 minutes to warm up in the microwave. It tasted great. It didn't make the perfect sheeting so I guess it could have been thinned out slightly by following the directions on the package. Everyone loved the fountain and sat around it fow quite a while. They commented how fun it was. So even though it didn't sheet perfectly the way I did it, it was awesome!! Can't wait to try it again.

Rick Rodgers writes in an easy to read way and offers reipes that are easy as well. Fonduing is fun, but since you don't do it every day, having this book is a comfort for review and recipes.

This is my first exposure to Rick Rodgers' writing and I am already looking to buy more of his cookbooks. He is thorough in his explanations of what equipment, chocolate, cheese, etc. to buy without being wordy or condescending. Each recipe comes with a paragraph lesson of its origin (e.g. Swiss, French, Italian) and/or American fondue versions and/or to whom the recipe would appeal. This book has such a variety of recipes that both the more and less adventurous eaters in your dinner party will be gastronomically satisfied. For a real Swiss experience, I recommend the Classic Swiss Three-Cheese Fondue and the Classic Chocolate Fondue. Recipes I'll be trying at my next fondue party are: Italian Fontina and Porcini Fondue, French Gruyere and Onion Fondue, and the Original Toblerone Fondue. This book offers years of interesting entertaining. Rick Rodgers' recipes and dipping suggestions can be trusted to provide a superior dining experience.

This book is chock full of excellent recipes that would be a hit with any grown-up dinner party. If you are going to have a get-together with friends and are looking for recipes that not only look and taste good but will also be impressive, this is the book for you. I really just wanted a fondue book with tried and true recipes that would appeal to my family. There are a few simple recipes in the book, but most of them have names like Italian Fontina and Porcini Fondue, Welsh Cheddar and Bacon Rabbit Fondue, Lobster Newburg Fondue, Smoked Salmon, Capers and Triple Creme Fondue, you see the trend. So if you are having an adult dinner party with friends and want to have something that sounds trendy or exotic, then this book is the one for you. If you want some simple family-type recipes, I would suggest looking for something different.

Since when are photos needed when the book is clear and as well written as this one? In my mind never.
This was my first book for fondue and frankly ALL the others books I either bought or looked at may have had photos but were so lacking in details, originality and interesting recipes I haven't used the two others I bought and haven't bought anymore. This book is simply the best fondue book you can buy, not only does it have good recipes it has clear instructions on how to use a fondue pot the differnt kinds of fondue pots as well as a comprehensive list of cheeses, breads, meats and other ingrediants good for fondue.
Anyone with a fundimental skill in cooking doesn't need a photo to know how to grate cheese or cut bread into cubes.

Some of the recipes just don't seem too appetizing.......liked "The 125 Best Fondue Recipes" better!!!

This is my favorite Fondue cookbook, and you could tell if you saw the folded pages of my fav recipes. I have not tried even half of the recipes and am thoroughly pleased with this. I have not tried them, but them, but there are Asian inspired dishes to try.

I am wishing for a Raclette for Christmas, and there are also recipes for that grill in this book also. It is nice to know if I get my Raclette, I already have recipes.

Highly, Highly recommend this cookbook.

I grew up thinking that fondues were just cheese, cheese, cheese, so I leapt at a book that would broaden my understanding. This is exactly that I got in this book. Coverage of various styles may not be deep, but the authors present a sampling of an enormous range of fondue pot uses from various cuisines around the world.

A small nit to pick is that the text is somewhat clumsily translated from German, and it pays to read the recipe instructions carefully prior to starting. The instructions are not particularly well segmented and laid out for you to read as you go. Nevertheless, for the one and only fondue cookbook in my collection, this was a great pick.

I have tabbed this book like crazy!! My father in law gave me a fondue pot for my b-day. I remember my mom her friends playing cards listening to Al Green records(am i dating myself?) and eating out of one pot. That was the depth of my experience with fondue. I bought this book so that I would have a clue as to what to do with my gift. I have tried about half of the meat and cheese recipes and the majority have been well recieved. The pictures give it a bit of a dated look but the good simple food transcends the time that has passed since this book was first published. It is simple and easy to follow. This is a great primer for those new to fondue.

I found many amazing Fondue recipes in this book. My favorites are the Classic Fondue (always a hit); the Dill Fondue and the Toblerone Fondue. I throw a big fondue party every year, featuring four types of cheese fondue and two dessert fondues. The recipes in this book have never let me down. They are delicious and easy to prepare. This book is highly recommended.

This book has lots of good recipes but it does seem to repeat itself some what by printing out new recipes for variants on a theme. That being said it is still my favorite book of fondue recipes and ideas.

While you're buying this book take a look at the Le Creuset Fondue pots. In my opinion, they are the best!

We've done fondue with friends for a while now. I got this book, considering whether it was worth it, when so many recipes are on the internet. It's worth it. There are some fantastic recipes, unlike any of the more bland ones I've found online. Some of the guidance and suggestions really add just the right touch to the recipe.

Book is ok, lots of good ideas, needs more practical info on the process of preparing the fondue (example: tips for melting, tips for electric fondue set vs stovetop, time it takes)

Gave it to my mom for the holidays. She made a few of the recipes contained within it. A cheese fondue: a little too salty. A Hot oil and various sauces: 1. peanut=pretty good. 2. some kind of garlic dip=very good. 3. A wasabi soy sauce sauce=amazing. Also made a chocolate Kahlua dessert fondue=Quite delicious, especially with the pound cake she made to dip in it.
Lots of recipes, so if you come across one that's sub-par there are plenty of others that are great.
I'd recommend it.

I purchased this for a friend who just got a new fondue pot, but didnt know what to do with it. She tells me that the instructions are clear and theres lots of new and different ideas to try.

We received this book for our wedding shower and we decided to turn things around and throw a fondue party for our rehearsal dinner. We loved the ideas, recipes, and just getting to be with everyone we loved, sharing ideas over some fabulous food. We love this book and can't wait to use it again for a date night soon!

This book bowled me over! Wham! Bam! I have a teenage son and found this book to be very exciting to explore as I was trying to come up with unique and tasteful, fun food ideas that would appeal to his age group. I'm sure this book will be extremely helpful in my graduation party plans. Fondue fun here we come. Boys just like to have fun, too!

I found The Everything Fondue Party Book to be everything I wanted and more! An old hand at fondue entertaining, I was thrilled to find updated recipes and ideas for entertaining. There's far more than fondue in this recipe packed little book. It's an entertainment celebration! And a wonderful book for gift giving. Hulin is a pro in every sense of the word.

This book has little fun or excitement to it. I love recipes, party planning books and learning of new ways to entertain my teenage daughters and their friends. This book came up short on all aspects. Boring, lifeless and little to no new entertainment information.
