ABOUT Cheese Fondue RECIPE

Cheese Fondue is a classic Swiss dish , and the word ' Fondue' means melting . It is originally made using dry white wine and two or three different types of Swiss cheese. However I tried making this into aa quick kids friendly version without the wine. You simply need to dip any accompaniments of your choice into the piping hot cheese and enjoy the cheesy goodness.
