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.

cooked corned beef or roast beef, cut into about 1 inch cubes, cooked potatoes, a large onion, cut into chunks, a green pepper, cut into chunks, dried thyme, dried dill weed , or to taste, salt and pepper, to taste, grapeseed or vegetable oil, unsalted butter, lindysez note : if using fresh potatoes, russet potatoes work best; but you can use red or yukon gold. peel (no need to peel the red or yukon gold) and cube them, place them in a pot of cold water to cover; bring just to a boil, simmer 2 - 3 minutes then drain; run under cold water to stop the cooking process. you don tsp want the potatoes overcooked, just al;dente. if using simply potatoes, or another refrigerated potato, you can process them as indicated in the recipe. if using frozen potatoes, thaw them before processing, either in the microwave, or if you ve planned ahead, in the refrigerator.
