If I were to make fondue for my family for the first time ever, what would be a great recipe to start with?

Try Betty Crocker, they're usually reasonably easy and foolproof. [img]smile.gif[/img]

In my experience it is best to go with a mixture of 4-5 different sorts of cheeses (all hard cheeses, not soft ones) and some white wine (cheap is also good). I can't help on the quantities as when we made fondue it was always random quantities and not following a recipe. Oh and be sure to get lots of dry bed, because it's amazing how much of that you can eat.

Thanks for the ideas! Holding out for more.

Well most classic cheeses work with bread, then there's strawberries and chocolate. And don't go real cheap wine when it only cost a bit more to get a medium one.

The wine I have is called Sauvignon Blanc, and its a domestic because the bottle was so big and so cheap compared to the imports. I got that kind because I plan to do some Italian dishes with it as well, and I heard that this is the kind to have for that.

Isn't Sauvignon Blanc the most common grape type in American wines?

Don't forget the low-tech option... go to your local mega grocery store and pick up a fondue pack. It will have a mixture of the stuff you need (cheeses, etc.) and will do the trick.

::raises hand:: I think you have the wrong color of wine, personally... For hard cheese, I would recommend a red wine. I would recommend a nice Zinfandel or a Pinot Noir, or a Merlot if you're into that sort of thing (I myself dislike Merlot).
You should pay, at the absolute minimum, $10 for a 750 ml (standard sized) bottle. If you pay much less or get much more (think boxes or jugs), I will not be held responsible for the consequences (though out of all less expensive wines, Yellow Bird wine does get the Illumina Seal of Approval)
