CHEESE A LA SWISS FONDUE (4 people)
1 clove garlic
600 g good Swiss cheese (400g Gruyere and 200g Emmental)
3 dl (about a water glass and a half) dry white wine
1 teaspoon lemon juice
4 teaspoons cornstarch
aperitif glass of Kirsch
Page Fondue Recipes e 8 of 81
pinch of nutmeg
Slice garlic in half and rub cut side all over inside of fondue
pot. Discard garlic.
Grate the cheese finely and mix with the cornstarch in a large bowl
to coat thoroughly. Bring the wine and lemon juice to a hard boil
and dump in the cheese stirring and beating to achieve a smooth
consistency. (With a cast iron fondue pot you can do this directly
in the pot). Remove from heat, add nutmeg and Kirsch and transfer
to fondue pot adjusting the heat so it's just dipping temperature.
The bread: Crusty French or Italian style cut in one-inch cubes,
each piece with a bit of crust. Instruct diners to spear the bread
through the crust part.
Traditions: Half-way through the fondue the host/ess offers a
toast and everyone chug-a-lugs a small glass of Kirsch. Anyone
who loses his/her bread in the pot pays for the next fondue.

Page Fondue Recipes e 27 of 81
3 Tbs. Flour
1 Clove garlic
2 cups Dry white wine
1 Tbs. lemon juice
2 Tbsp. Kirsch
Cubes of French bread (1/2 baguette per person)
Kirsch is Kirsch Wasser and is a cherry liqueur. Emmental cheese is a type of
Swiss cheese.
Mix cheese with flour. Rub pot with garlic, pour in wine and place
over med. heat. When air bubbles form add lemon juice. Add cheese
by the handful, stirring constantly in the same direction. Add

The Swiss say you should only drink wine or tea with fondue or the
cheese will be very hard to digest.

FONDUE NEUCHATELOISE (BASIC FONDUE)
2 1/2 fl Dry white wine
Clove garlic
5 1/2 oz Emmental and Gruyere cheese*
1 t Cornstarch
1/2 fl Kirsch**
Shake pepper
Grind fresh nutmeg
6 oz White bread, cubed
(Note: the above measurements are for *each* person.
Multiply by your number of guests.)
* Grated and mixed half and half. ** This is Swiss
cherry firewater: clear, dry-tasting -- *not* "cherry
brandy", which is dark and sweet.
Most good liquor stores should carry it, at least one
of the US brands like Hiram Walker, or else maybe
Bols. The best Kirsch is "Etter" brand from
Switzerland, but the odds of your finding it are
minuscule. -- In Switzerland, fondue is usually
perpared in a "caquelon", an earthenware dish with a
handle, glazed inside; but any enamelled saucepan can
be used, or a not too shallow fireproof dish. Rub the
inside of the pan with half a cut clove of garlic, and
let it dry until the rubbed places feel tacky. Put the
wine in the dish and bring it to a boil. Slowly start
Page Fondue Recipes e 33 of 81
adding cheese to the boiling wine, and stir constantly
until each bit is dissolved, then add more. When all
the cheese is in, stir the kirsch into the cornstarch
well, then add the mixture to the cheese and keep
stirring over the heat until the mixture comes to a
boil again. Add freshly ground pepper and nutmeg to
taste. -- Remove the dish to on top of a small live
flame (Sterno or alcohol burner) and keep it bubbling
slowly. Bread should have been cubed ~- about 1-inch
cubes -- for spearing with fondue forks and stirring
around in the cheese. The old custom is that if you
accidentally lose the bread into the cheese from the
end of your fork, if you're male, you have to buy a
round of drinks for the table: if you're female, you
have to kiss everybody. (Hmm.) .
Other fondue info: Do not drink water with fondue --
it reacts unkindly in your stomach with the cheese and
bread. Dry white wine or tea are the usual
accompaniments. Another tradition: the "coupe
d'midi", or "shot in the middle", for when you get
full: a thimbleful of Kirsch, knocked straight back
in the middle of the meal, usually magically produces
more room if you're feeling too full. Don't ask me how
this works...it just does. -- The crusty bit that
forms at the bottom of the pot as the cheese keeps
cooking is called the "crouton", and is very nice
peeled off and divvied up among the guests as a sort

of farewell to dinner.

saucepan with the garlic. Pour wine into pot and place on stove over medium-high

raw egg into the pot and stir rapidly with the cheese. After a minute, dump
remaining bread into pot and stir together with cheese and egg. Then turn off the
burner and enjoy what's left.
