Recipe of the day


Today's episode of "30 Minute Meals" is about a retro classic. It is all about fondue! It is perfect way to get all of your friends together and enjoy a classic way of cooking. Fondue has become more and more popular in the past year. With restaurants like The Melting Pot, and new sleek fondue pots, it has become a very popular way to dine. It is not the retro way of the classic fondue, with the little green pots. Fondue makers come in retro styles as well as silver, which makes it look much more modern. Today's recipe is Smoked Gouda Fondue with Bacon and Almonds. It is very updated version of the classic cheese fondue. Cheese fondue is normally made with a cheddar or the all American Velveeta cheese. This version takes Gouda cheese and adds small pieces of cooked bacon and toasted almonds for extra crunch and flavor. Making fondue is extremely easy to prepare and entertain with. You get everything cooked before hand and place it on a platter while your fondue mixture remains warm all night. It is stress free entertaining and it is delicious. Try entertaining with a classic fondue recipe with and updated twist, I guarantee your friends will never want to leave.
