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.

this recipe yields calamari lighter in color than most restaurant versions , so keep this in mind when frying. follow the cooking time, not the color, and you will have perfectly cooked squid. while we love the texture and visual appeal of the tentacles, not everyone does; most fishmongers will gladly sell only bodies if you so desire. before slicing the squid, check the bodies for beaks the fishmonger might have missed. they look and feel like pieces of transparent plastic. for a specialty native to federal hill, the italian neighborhood in providence, rhode island, toss the fried calamari with thinly sliced rings of jarred pepperoncini. the spicy bite of the peppers and the tanginess of the brine are surprisingly good with fried squid. for the best results, clip a candy/deep-fry thermometer to the side of the saucepan to monitor the temperature of the oil., unbleached all-purpose flour, fine-ground cornmeal, ground black pepper, cayenne pepper, salt, egg whites, squid , bodies sliced crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick rings, tentacles left whole, vegetable oil for frying, lemon , cut into wedges
