- Take-home notes and recipe
- Some lasting memories!
Learn to make the perfect pot of melty cheese this winter! Fondue is a magical dish that’s designed to be shared alongside good accoutrements and good conversation. We’ll learn about the right cheeses for a delicious fondue, the art and science of making it at home, and how to troubleshoot in a pinch if your fondue goes awry (which it won’t, because you’ll be a pro).
By the end of this evening, you’ll have what it takes to build and serve a fondue platter that rivals anything you’d find at a certain downtown restaurant that has, uh, melting pots. Attendees will enjoy a bountiful fondue spread and wine pairings, too.
