Whilst we can’t ski or snowboard right now, that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy our favourite alpine grub. Bring the mountains to your dining room with our super easy cheese fondue recipe. Apr\u00e8s wear and Oktoberfest playlist optional.

This recipe is perfect for celebrating a special occasion such as a birthday, anniversary, Valentine’s Day<\/a> or Cheese Fondue Day on the 11th of April.

There is no need to fear if you aren’t a good cook as making fondue is shockingly easy \u2013 you just need to chop, grate and stir. The top tip for making a good fondue is using good quality cheese. If the cheese isn’t matured correctly, it may not melt completely and make the mixture lumpy rather than smooth. Splashing out on a more expensive cheese will be worth it.

Emmental and Gruy\u00e8re are the best cheeses to use in a traditional fondue, but Raclette, Comt\u00e9, Camembert, Beaufort and Vacherin all work well. Our favourite is a blend of Swiss cheeses, reminding us of being on top of a mountain in France<\/a> or Switzerland<\/a> after a fun day of skiing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, don’t forget a good dipping list of your favourites like cold meats, potatoes, broccoli, carrot, gherkins, peppers and of course the classic must-have cubed French bread pieces (get the bread a couple of days early so it can be hard and slightly stale, so it will hold together on your fondue fork).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
