I also added gruyere cheese. It was perfect, unfortunately my fondue pot didn't cooperate with me. It was either too hot or too cold, and then in all congealed. Still tasted great though!!

I've never even had fondue before so I wasn't sure how this was supposed to turn. It was a little thick, but the flavour was amazing, it was SO good. I made it for a party and everyone loved it. I just threw everything in a slow cooker and let it melt while I was making other stuff for a party.

I made this for the first time for a birthday dinner with friends. My friends liked it and ate most of it, however I thought it was too grainy and was disappointed with its texture. Flavor was good, but I didn't care for the thickness or texture. Won't make this again. I am looking for a smoother cheese fondue recipe. Guess I will have to try it out before I serve it at a party!

This is a staple in our house. Everyone from my husband to my 4-year-old loves it. The flavors taste better after it has warmed up for a while. I use half the seasonings because it is too spicy for my kids otherwise. Beware that the milk will curdle when you heat it up with the wine. I do not use a separate saucepan, I just pour the wine into the fondue pot and bring it to a boil. Then I reduce the heat, and add the cheese and milk. I've made it about 15 times over the last year and do not ever find it to be stringy or without flavor. There is never any leftover if I make it for a party.

I followed most of the advice from the reviews and I didn't care for this recipe. It did have a chalky texture and wasn't creamy enough for my idea of a fondue. But my brother said "it's not that bad". So 3 stars, I guess.

All I can say is OMG. This is the best stuff. You have to let it simmer for a few minutes after you add the spices before the true flavor comes out, but when it does 8-D

This fondue turned out great! My husband's grandmother gave us a fondue pot as a wedding gift, so we had her over for dinner to try it out for the first time. This recipe was a hit with all 3 of us. The only changes I made were to use a little less cayenne pepper (I wasn't sure if our guest likes spicy things) & added a little more milk to thin it out. Thanks so much...we'll definitely use this recipe again & again! :)

Wow!!! My husband LOVES cheese...and he loves this fondue more than the Melting Pot's. We stick to the recipe...simmering the wine first like the others suggested. Lastly we serve with cauliflower, broccoli, mushrooms, carrots, bread (usually sour dough), and granny smith apples.

Based on other reviews, I started the fondue with about 1/2 cup of chicken broth, didn't add the milk and wine a the same time, used a squeeze of lemon to avoid stringiness, and added 8 oz. of Gruyere to the mix. I didn't include the onions or spinach (Dad isn't a fan), but it was still great. Served with steak, baked potato, and blanched broccoli and cauliflower. We dipped the veggies and steak into the fondue, and poured a bit on the potatoes - a cheese field day! Will definitely make again.
