Fondue Recipe
This is a favorite of ours from our years in Switzerland. This is the most authentic (though Americanized due to lack of some ingredients) that I have developed yet. Enjoy!

I tried to find out what Swiss Chaislass was, but it would not Google. Can you please tell me. From the recipe I would assume it is a wine. THX


Yes, that is just perfect

Sorry, mispelt it. Chasselas. Here's a link from a vinnoble near where we lived: http://www.curiades.ch/commande.htm


I am a big fan of a *true fondue*...you have it here! Thank you! ^5!


I posted a competing (americanized) fondue recipe today, but all the props to your totally authentic one! I'll have to get up the courage to try that next time! I'm waiting for you to post some Raclette love... maybe someday soon we can share a cheese in person.
ps. if you're a random person reading this i'm not creepy, we're sisters-in-law!
