Fondue was accidentally invented by farmers who did not had much to eat. With all their left over cheese of different varieties and left over breads, they invented fondue. 'FONDUE' pronounced as "phon di uu".
Basically the left over cheese were melted in wine, in which where added some herbs and seasonings, then left over breads were toasted and these toasted breads along with left over veggies were dipped in warm melted cheese to be eaten.
Today Fondue has gained a lot of popularity and even comes in pre packed cartons. However they are too costly, so let us make fondue today and enjoy this yummy cheesy delicacy from Switzerland right in our home. It's easy just your left over cheese is what this recipe requires. Let's Begin...
