    I am not a fan of traditional cheese fondue so I tried this since I was the recipient of a cheese fondue pot for my birthday. I have made this recipe twice now and it turns out just perfect and is a big hit at our house. We dip boiled potato cubes (tastes like fancy potato skins along with grilled kielbasa, tart green apples, pears, assorted breads, and pretzels. I press the garlic and add it to the wine & lemon juice rather than just rub the pot as we are garlic fans. FUN-DU, Indeed!

    We make cheddar and beer fondue every year for new year's eve and I decided this year we would mix it up and have a 2nd cheese fondue. This recipe was fantastic! I fried food bacon and reserved the fat to toast the almonds in before I chopped them up. We served it with pretzel bread, French bread, carrots, celery honey crisp apples and anoji pears. Next year we are going to experiment with other dippers. My biggest tip is ceramic fondue pots work best and never stir without using a wooden spoon in a slow figure eight, seriously it makes the cheese melt smooth.

    Very good flavor. Just don't get in a hurry. Takes time to let the cheese melt SLOWLY and KEEP STIRRING. Pumpernickel bread, red pears, flash cooked broccoli, green apples are great dippers for this one.

    I made this Fondue for a group of people at work. It was very simple to make, yet delicious. If you love cheese fondue, you'll love this.

    Made the cheese fondue for our Valentine's "Fondue Feast," and this was delicious. My husband is not a fan of the traditional fondue, and he loved this. We added more Gouda than the recipe called for (and a little more wine to make up for it, and it was perfect.

    We omitted the almonds and it was still absolutely wonderful. It was super easy to make so we will definitely "fun-du" more often!

    I just bought a fondue pot, and what a great recipe to try it out on. This was very good, and very pleasing to my mouth. I love the different textures in this fondue, it was most certaintly not your typical cheese fondue. as Rachel herself would say, YUM-O

    I made this for a gathering and everyone loved it! The cheese was really good and it was really fun. The mushrooms were the best! I too had a difficult time keeping a smooth consistancy on the cheese but it was good anyway.
