No photos needed!!!

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.

Great for the fondue rookie!

I have always loved fondue, and bought a fondue pot so that I could make fondue with friends. However, without this cookbook, I would not have been able to branch out of anything other than chocolate and fruit fondues. The cookbook is wonderful, as it is broken into sections and each recipe is easy to understand, with each step present. I also really loved the explanations he gives of the types of ingredients to use, and especially liked the recommendations on what to dip in the given fondue. Great, great, great! I'm actually giving as a gift with two fondue pots this summer!

Fondue 101 and then some!

Before you even get started with the fabulous recipes found in this book, the author is kind enough to give you a "fondue revu" - Serving styles, Equipment, Ingredients; it's an extensive overview, but quick and to the point. The book itself is full of updated fondue recipes, it takes you through cheeses, hot oils, broths (Asian Hot Pots), dipping sauces and dessert fondues. It has quickly become my book of choice when breaking out the fondue pot!

A "how-to" book made simple.

Like most people, my fondue pot was gathering dust on a high shelf in the hall closet. This book gives clear & easy recipes for appetizer and meal-size fondues, but also for desserts--something I had never attempted before. I recently made fondue for houseguests who were as tired as I was after a day of sight-seeing. It made for a perfect, easy meal as we sat around the table relaxing and talking about our adventures of the day. Thanks for a great time-saving book!

This is a fantastic book on fondue! An absolute MUST HAVE!

I purchased this book to get ideas for a fondue dinner I donated to a local auction. Planning a fondue dinner for 10 was made so much easier with this book. The recipes are wonderful, and it was a wealth of information with serving suggestions and helpful hints. I plan to send each couple home with a copy of this book! I loved it! -Erin
