F
By SUZANNE LEDBETTER
rom cheese to chocolate, fondue is comforting, cozy, casual, and communal. In other words—everything you need to entertain friends without all the fuss this holiday season. It pairs perfectly with the crisp, cool evenings, freshly baked breads, and a smorgasbord of seasonal produce. Hailing from Switzerland, a traditional fondue is comprised of melted Swiss cheese and served in a communal pot used for dipping bread. From appetizers to chocolate, you can even perfect it all in one pot!
