here are the basics of making an excellent cheese fondue , the proper way (or at least the lindysez way)., use good cheese , i use half emmental swiss and gruyere, grate them up and toss them with some salt and a good amount of pepper. let them sit out at room temp so they melt better . cut your bread (good french bread, but not sourdough) into bite sized pieces making sure to have crust on each piece. let those sit out for a while too so they aren tsp too soft., cheese that you use , you are going to use 1 3/4 cups of a dry white wine, such as a fume blanc, a california sauv blanc (don tsp use a new zealand 1 as most are too grassy) or a pouilly-fume. when you are ready to make the fondue, rub the pot with a clove of garlic (we like garlic, so we leave the clove in, but you don tsp need to); then place over a medium heat and add the wine. when the wine comes to a simmer, start slowly adding the cheese, sprinkling in a handful at a time, allowing each addition to melt (my dad said you always have to stir in the same direction, in a figure 8 motion, it works. if you stir in a circle you will end up with a big glop of cheese in the middle of a pot of wine, the figure 8 is key); keep adding until you have a nice thick sauce, then add a splash of kirsch and a pinch of nutmeg. put over a burner to keep it bubbling, and stir often when you dip your bread., a lb of cheese is enough for 4 people; or more if you are serving other things. and the amounts are guesstimates. i almost always grate too much cheese, so only add as much as you need to get the right consistency ; when you dip a piece of bread into the fondue, you want a nice coating of cheese and for the bread to absorb the wine. that s what it s all about, cheese, wine and bread. so use the best you can of each ingredient. and any left over cheese makes for a mighty good ham and cheese omelet.

original recipe, boil a tender , nice piece of beef -- any piece that is clear from sinew and gristle; boil it till it is perfectly tender. when it is cold, chop it very fine, and be very careful to get out every particle of bone and gristle. the suet is sweeter and better to boil half an hour or more in the liquor the beef has been boiled in; but few people do this. pare, core, and chop the apples fine. if you use raisins, stone them. if you use currants, wash and dry them at the fire. two lb of beef, after it is chopped; three quarters of a lb of suet; 1 lb and a quarter of sugar; three lb of apples; two lb of currants, or raisins. put in a gill of brandy; lemon-brandy is better, if you have any prepared. make it quite moist with new cider. i should not think a quart would be too much; the more moist the better, if it does not spill out into the oven. a very little pepper. if you use corn meat, or tongue, for pies, it should be well soaked, and boiled very tender. if you use fresh beef, salt is necessary in the seasoning. 1 oz of cinnamon, 1 oz of cloves. two nutmegs add to the pleasantness of the flavor; and a bit of sweet butter put upon the top of each pie, makes them rich; but these are not necessary. baked three quarters of an hour. if your apples are rather sweet, grate in a whole lemon., modern adaptation, beef round or leftover roast, suet, apples, raisins or currants, white sugar, brown sugar, pepper, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, brandy, cider or apple juice, double recipe for pie crust, butter (optional)

x-rated fusion liqueur, raspberry liqueur, apple schnapps (apple pucker suggested)

butter, parsley (minced ), green onion, bell pepper (chopped small), onion (large, chopped ), black pepper, red pepper, celery ribs (chopped ), crawfish tails (you could of course use shrimp if you can tsp get crawdads, or even if you just prefer), crawfish fat (optional), garlic powder, salt, cornstarch (to thicken), double crust pie crusts (ready-made )

all-purpose flour, hazelnuts, toasted and finely ground, salt and pepper, egg, lightly beaten, milk, butter or 1 tbsp margarine, melted, fresh spinach, rinsed, low-fat cream cheese (if not getting fresh herbs, use the cream cheese with chives), garlic clove, crushed, chopped fresh mixed herbs, olive oil, lemon juice, freshly grated nutmeg, chili powder

a roughly 2 lb piece of beef like inside round. you want it to be fairly lean and with the grain of the meat running along the axis of the meat; you could use something like tenderloin if you want to shell out the money, but you don tsp want something thin like brisket. see note 1., salt for curing, you re looking for about a ten to 1 mix of kosher to pink * (see note 2), red pepper powder (a mix of paprika and cayenne to taste), salt, black pepper, ground, cumin, methi (fenugreek) seeds, ground, allspice, ground, garlic, crushed, note 1: this is a piece of meat that s going to hang at close to room temperature for a month, and likely won tsp be cooked, so get the good stuff. don tsp just get stuff from the supermarket, but find yourself a good butcher and get to know them so you know you re getting quality meat., note two : you ll occasionally hear stuff about how nitrites aren tsp safe (and pink salt is 6.25% sodium nitrite), but in small quantities it s just fine and occurs naturally in food we eat. more importantly, it inhibits the growth of botulism. i don tsp do any curing outside of short cures in the fridge without nitrite, and i wouldn tsp do any multi-month cures without nitrate.
