Porcini Swiss Fondue

Submitted by BakinBaby

"Thiis comes from "The Silver Palate Good Times Cookbook". Anyone who came of age in the early 80′s and loved good food has either been to this charming Manhattan restaurant or own one of the many cookbooks authored by Sheila Lukins and Jule Rosso. Sunday mornings, it was standing room only (well, not really standing room) we were actually standing outside as the restaurant was very small and cozy. Ah, I love memories that are filled with good food, good friends and delightful conversation, such is "The Silver Palate:. This fondue combines the culinary flavors of three cheeses and white wine, how can you go wrong?"

We made this fondue yesterday as an appetizer for Father's Day. We like marsala, but thought it was a little too pronounced in this recipe. We followed directions as posted and served with slices of bread and little turkey sausages for dipping. Made for ZWT7
