Traditional Swiss fondue is so easy to make. My husband grew up in Switzerland and it's there where I truly began to appreciate fondue. There are many variations of fondue in Switzerland, but this is the most common version using Gruyère and Emmental cheeses. I love the ritual and it's so fun (and easy!) for entertaining. If you can find it, a splash of kirsch just before serving really gives fondue a nice kick. Enjoy with your favorite bread, boiled baby potatoes, cornichons, and pickled onions.
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups shredded Gruyère cheese
- 2.5 cups shredded Emmental cheese
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 clove garlic , halved
- 1.5 cups dry white wine
Instructions
-
1
Combine Gruyère cheese, Emmental cheese, and cornstarch in a bowl. Mix until the cheese is evenly coated. Set aside.

2
Rub the cut side of the garlic all over the inside of a fondue pot or heavy saucepan. Add wine and place over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, then gradually add cheese and cornstarch mixture. Stir with a spatula, gently stirring in a figure-of-eight motion, until all of the cheese is added and the fondue is smooth and homogenous. Reduce heat to medium-low if the fondue is boiling too vigorously.

Immediately serve fondue, preferably over a warmer. If you used a saucepan on the stove to heat the fondue, you can carefully transfer the fondue to a fondue pot to serve.

Algerian Kefta (Meatballs)
This simple meatball dish is delicious, rich, and fresh. My Algerian husband taught me it as it's one of his favorites from home. The tomato sauce can be used for anything, and the flavors can be adjusted. I like a lot of garlic and pepper. I have found halal hamburger meat to be much leaner and lighter than regular. You can find it at international food stores and halal butcher shops in bigger cities. Serve this dish with a French baguette.
