Fondue with Friends
Fondue is real treat for cheese lover when it’s cold outside and warm and cozy inside. And it is an easy to prepare meal if you have guests as it is cooked and on the table in about 20 minutes.
Some high end cheese stores even lend or rent fondue sets if you do not own one.
Table Setting
The table setting of course was based on my Swiss heritage. But any other rustic theme will work just fine as well.
The place mats were custom designed for the evening. As a souvenir all guests received a bookmark with the fondue recipe printed on it.
