If you have a strong desire to melt things and/or to cook tiny chunks of food at the table, you are perfectly suited for a fondue dinner. I can remember fondue from back in its heady 70s heyday. Mi mamasita had a fondue set. It was completely tricked out with one of those brown and orange stripe patterns that have gone from "in" to "out" to "horrible" to "retro." I can't ever remember actually eating any fondue at home--I think the fondue kit came out at night, when the kids were tucked away for a night's slumber. Dad would brush his sideburns, mom would make sure her slacks were sufficiently bell-bottomed, the highball glasses would come out and those sophisticated adults melted the night away while talking about Watergate....
Well, sideburns may still be in the "out" category, but fondue is definitely in. And who else is "in?" That's right, Rachael Ray.
Thus, a convergence of "in-ness" has envolved... The Rachael Ray fondue set, which you can see here, along with a positive review. If you dig Rachel Ray or if you just want to have a groovy time with fondue, this is the way to go. No brown stripes, but very cool nonetheless. Check out the Rachael Ray fondue set and schedule that evening get-together with the neighbors. Watergate's history, but there is always good grist for the conversational mill available...Extraordinary rendition and melted Alpine Swiss, anyone?
