This classic cheese fondue is the ultimate vegetarian centrepiece for a cosy evening in or a festive gathering with friends. A sophisticated blend of nutty Gruyère and mellow Emmental, this recipe creates a rich, velvety sauce with just a hint of garlic and dry white wine. It is a wonderfully tactile way to eat, bringing a touch of retro charm and continental flair to your dinner table during the colder months.
While traditional crusty bread is a must for dipping, this versatile dish also pairs beautifully with roasted new potatoes, crisp apple wedges or lightly blanched broccoli florets. Whether you are hosting a formal dinner or a relaxed weekend supper, this homemade fondue offers a sociable and comforting dining experience that is simple to prepare but feels truly indulgent for every guest.

Ingredients for Cheese Fondue
1 garlic clove, halved crosswise
350ml dry white wine
1 tablespoon cornflour
2 teaspoons kirsch (optional)
230g Emmental cheese, coarsely grated (475ml )
230g Gruyère, coarsely grated (475ml )
How to make Cheese Fondue
Rub inside of a 4-quart heavy pot with cut sides of garlic, then discard garlic. Add wine to pot and bring just to a simmer over moderate heat.
Stir together cornflour and kirsch (if using; otherwise, use water or wine) in a cup.
Gradually add cheese to pot and cook, stirring constantly in a zigzag pattern (not a circular motion) to prevent cheese from balling up, until cheese is just melted and creamy (do not let boil). Stir cornflour mixture again and stir into fondue. Bring fondue to a simmer and cook, stirring, until thickened, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to fondue pot set over a flame.
