In the Northern Hemisphere we are enjoying the sunshine and heat of summer, so that means it’s time to start searching for summer recipes. With the better weather we are out in our gardens or balconies and enjoying time with family and friends sharing in good food.

Fondue is Switzerland’s national dish, its name comes from the French word fondre, meaning to melt, and that is exactly what it is! Melted cheese combined with flavorful additions. Fondue was invented out of necessity, when the locals and herders relied only on cheese, wine, and bread to get them through the cold alpine winter. When the cheese made in the summer started to dry out and the bread became hard and stale during the winter months the ingenious locals melted the hard cheese with wine and dipped the stale bread into it.
