I was VERY excited to see this book at the thrift store last night! It is copyrighted 1970, and is full of yummy fondue recipes. What a perfect book to help me with my New Year’s Goal of “Host a Fondue Dinner Party”!

There are lots of great pictures in here of all sorts of vintage fondue pots and serving ware too – it’s really fun to look through! By the way, does that fondue pot on the cover look familiar? Yep, it’s for sale in the shop here!

It has a ton of classic fondue recipes – different meats, cheese and chocolate fondues and some really yummy sounding ones that I would have never thought of. My favorite (because anything with raspberries has me at hello):

Creamy Raspberry Fondue

1 4-ounce container of whipped cream cheese

2 10-ounce packages of frozen raspberries, thawed

1/4 cup cornstarch

2 tablespoons sugar

1/4 cup brandy

Let cream cheese come to room temperature. In saucepan, crush raspberries slightly. Blend together cornstarch and 1/2 cup cold water; add to berries. Cook and stir till thickened and bubbly. Sieve; discard seeds. Pour into fondue pot; place over fondue burner. Add cream cheese, stirring till melted. Stir in sugar; gradually add brandy. Spear fruit or cake cubes with fondue fork, dip in fondue. Makes 6 servings. Suggested dippers: pound cake, pears, peaches.
