Bon appetit!
The pandemic has compelled everyone to stay and dine at home—rather than heading out to restaurants—to cut virus transmission lines and to keep safe. Many have become creative in the kitchen, and fortunately, home meals can be both fun and delicious with the help of a few appliances.
Fondue Set
The practice of eating fondue began in the 18th Century in Switzerland. During winter, Swiss villagers used a combination of stale bread, some leftover cheese, and a bit of wine to create a delectable meal. Today, fondue is celebrated as Switzerland’s national dish and is enjoyed by many people worldwide. There are three kinds of fondue: meat fondue, cheese fondue, and chocolate fondue.
