An impressive, but easy appetizer. There are copy cat recipes of a popular seafood restaurant's fondue, but ours doesn't have any processed cheese, and we think it blows the others away. This MUST be served in a toasted sourdough bread bowl, though. Read more . :) Ingredients:

1/2lb cojack cheese, grated |
1/4-1/2 cup chicken stock |
1t cayenne(or more to taste...i use about 3 |
