That reminds me: never make cheese fondue when all the wine that you have in the house is red. Red wine cheese fondue tastes great but looks like sick.

You can buy it in packets apparently. In fact MM makes it one go in a saucepan without the nonsense with the butter and flour first (roux?) but then she has Magical Cooking Powers. I have learnt nothing from her.

MM/I - I once went to a 'fondue restaurant' and watched the grease separate out from the cheese and float menacingly on top. NEVER AGAIN. I like meat fondue, i.e. hot oil and bits of meat. In fact MM didn't we have that back in 1976 with a baked potato and salad as a Treat?
