Make Lowfat Cheese Fondue Recipe







Make Low-Fat Cheese Fondue Recipe


Fondue come from the French word "fondre, which means "to melt". We use the word fondue to describe foods that are cooked or dunked into a heavy sauce that is kept warm at the table. Although the word is French, it is actually the Swiss that are given credit for inventing this wonderful way of eating. They came up with it from necessity rather than invention. They would make their cheeses and breads in the summer months to be stored for winter use, but by the time winter came, the cheese and bread were so rock hard they had to use an axe to slice the bread!. Then they discovered that by adding some wine to the cheese and putting in a pot over the fire, it would melt and tasted delicious. They further found that dipping the hard bread into it make it soft and edible. Fondue has been a favorite method of eating ever since. Follow the steps below and you can make a low-fat cheese fondue that you can enjoy guilt free!
