fondue

Fondue (pronounced in British English; in American English usually ; French pronunciation: ​[fɔ̃dy]) is a Swiss dish of melted cheese served in a communal pot (caquelon or fondue pot) over a portable stove (réchaud) heated with a candle or spirit lamp, and eaten by dipping bread into the cheese using long-stemmed forks. It was promoted as a Swiss national dish by the Swiss Cheese Union (Schweizerische Käseunion) in the 1930s, and was popularized in North America in the 1960s.
Since the 1950s, the name "fondue" has been generalized to other dishes in which a food is dipped into a communal pot of liquid kept hot in a fondue pot: chocolate fondue, in which pieces of fruit or pastry are dipped into a melted chocolate mixture, and fondue bourguignonne, in which pieces of meat are cooked in hot oil or broth.

    Recipe Vegan Cheese Fondue

    Until this week I hadn't thought it possible to have a dairy free cheese fondue. All my previous attempts at a vegan cheese sauce had failed to produce anything even vaguely acceptable to both my husband and I. So I was a touch uncertain about trying a totally new recipe from a totally new...
