Made this for New Year's Eve 2016; served with blanched broccoli florets and large carrot slices, along with crusty bread. Cooked the garlic in the wine while it heated, then removed the garlic before adding the cheese for a more intense garlic flavor. This may be a new tradition! Thanks!

Very,very authentic and delicious. We add a bit of nutmeg.

Thanks for a wonderful recipe. We made this for the first time on New Years Eve 2009/2010 and every one raved about it. Easy to make and beats the hell out of packet Fondue mix. Thanks again.

This was really good and tasted pretty authentic. I was looking for a recipe that used only these two cheeses. The only difference: since we love garlic so much, I used two garlic cloves and pressed them into the cheese mixture. I'll keep this recipe!

This is just like the fondue restaurant. I used Chambord instead of Kirsch because I did not have the Kirsch handy. Yummy!
