CHEESE FONDUE 'FOR "APRES SKI"
-Justthe.thing,-•for-"thei;„apres ski crowd is this, bubbling. pot•of Cheese„Fondue: They, dip.chunks.of
crusty bread into. the.melted cheese: -Fondues are just the thing for informal entertaining because
everybody helps themselves., According to the home economists' at Canada Agriculture the original
fondue was made,from cheese, and the word is borrowed from the French word "fondre", to melt.
Howevetr"many other Canadian foods such as chicken, beef, pork and Jfruit-lend themselves for use
in the fondue pot,

Fondue parties are fun
hooking food over an open '
flame. was a matter of necessity
many years agd. Then, with._the
appearance of the cooking stove,
,rneal preparation became ,easier.
'However, in recent years it has
become a "fun 'thing" to cook
marshmallows, bacon or hot
dogs over a camp, fire. And.
nowadays the fun revolves
around a fondue pot.
The word "fondue” 'is '
borrowed from the French word
"fondre meaning ":to melt';. In
<culinary language rt_ ' usually
means a hot, dish made from
melted cheese. Fondue cookery
.-originated in Switzerland and, of
course, a Swiss cheese was used.
Canadian dairies make
° Swiss -type cheeses such as
Gruyere -and Emmenthaler, but
other. ,. Canadian -made cheese
such as Ch'eddar ,, (natural or
process) . are -suitable for this.,
tantalizing dish. The wine and
garlic are usually heated in a
fondue pot, then the cheese,'
combined with flour and
seasonings,,is--gradually 'added in
small amounts. The cheese must
' be stirred and well blended
before adding more. ' The
delectable mixture is ready for
sampling when the last of the
cheese'is melted and the mixture
is smooth and bubbly.
The guests pick up the pieces
,sof crusty bread with forks and
dip, them into .the bubbly cheese..
The, secret is: to 'turn the fork
around to coat all sides of the
bread,° lift it out of the fondue,
..and , tvrirt it. oto :' keep.. the ..cheese,
from .dripping. --It is devoured in
one delipious !Site. The, pot

can be , adjusted to keep the
mixture bubbling. Do not
overcook as cheese will harden.
The” last of the melted 'cheese,
althodd'gh slightly brown, is
considered , the ' "piece de
resistance". • . °--
