Summary: Great recipes and a blast from the past
Comment: This book is a scream -- but it's also got some great recipes. It's a scream because it's so "'70s" -- that alone makes it worth the price. It has lots of good recipes and seems quite comprehensive. It covers all sorts of cheese fondue, meat fondue, and court bouillon recipes. It gives plenty of excellent sauce and dip ideas. It gives great ideas about "go withs" so you won't have any trouble thinking of complete fondue-based meals. Plus, you'll be so glad the '70s are long gone!

Summary: Hard to find ingredients
Comment: I bought this book because of all the great reviews, however when I recieved it in the mail and started reading the recipes I was dissapointed because the recipes had ingredients that were hard to find. For example, special cheeses and spices that could not be found in your typical grocery store. I would have liked to see more recipes that had everyday staple ingredients that we would not have to search for.

Summary: Broad treatment of fondue pot use
Comment: I grew up thinking that fondues were just cheese, cheese, cheese, so I leapt at a book that would broaden my understanding. This is exactly that I got in this book. Coverage of various styles may not be deep, but the authors present a sampling of an enormous range of fondue pot uses from various cuisines around the world.
A small nit to pick is that the text is somewhat clumsily translated from German, and it pays to read the recipe instructions carefully prior to starting. The instructions are not particularly well segmented and laid out for you to read as you go. Nevertheless, for the one and only fondue cookbook in my collection, this was a great pick.

Summary: An oldie but goodie
Comment: I have tabbed this book like crazy!! My father in law gave me a fondue pot for my b-day. I remember my mom her friends playing cards listening to Al Green records(am i dating myself?) and eating out of one pot. That was the depth of my experience with fondue. I bought this book so that I would have a clue as to what to do with my gift. I have tried about half of the meat and cheese recipes and the majority have been well recieved. The pictures give it a bit of a dated look but the good simple food transcends the time that has passed since this book was first published. It is simple and easy to follow. This is a great primer for those new to fondue.

Summary: Good fondue book
Comment: This book has lots of good recipes but it does seem to repeat itself some what by printing out new recipes for variants on a theme. That being said it is still my favorite book of fondue recipes and ideas.
While you're buying this book take a look at the Le Creuset Fondue pots. In my opinion, they are the best!
