For a fondue, cheese is one of the better known variants. White wine and cheese slowly melted into a thick dipping sauce. I prefer to use a french baguette to dip, since the hard crust will give you a surface for the forks to bite into.
Be careful not to let the cheese come to a boil, that will cause it to curdle. If your fondue is too thick add some wine. Alternatively add more cheese or cornstarch to thicken the fondue.

A recipe that combines potatoes, bacon, white wine and cheese to create a ready-to-serve meal or as a side. This dish is said to have its origin from the French Alps, and is traditionally prepared with Reblochon cheese.
Since I have difficulty finding Reblochon cheese in local stores, I opted to use Brie or Camembert instead. Make sure to remove the rind prior to slicing. It also helps if you freeze the cheese for thirty minutes or so to make rind removal easier.
Ham, honey and mustard, can there be a better combination of flavours? This recipe requires very few ingredients and can easily become a family favourite!
