Rather than adding in flour, toss the grated cheese with a tablespoon or so of corn starch (U.K. cornflour) beforehand, so the cheese is very lightly dusted. This will thicken & help emulsify it, reducing the chance of separation.
You need to add Garlic before you add the cheese. Without garlic it will not be a traditional fondue. And you can add some cream at the end to give it some more taste. Also try to add some Kirsch to it for taste. And please leave away the additional Salt. Cheese itself is very salty. Rather add some black pepper instead of Salt. For Dipping: Try grapes or pears. both go really well with cheese fondue
@@Dima_Rose9 No, grape juice is aweful! It will ruin the fondue. Also if you use white wine, and cook it, the alcohol content will be low enough for children to be safe to eat. But if you really can't have alcohol, try alcohol free cider instead. Grape jucie is sweet and lacks acidity, so your cheese and liquids won't bind together.
a bit of tomato concentrate goes wonderfully in a cheese fondue, my father used to always ask it in a swiss place till they ended up putting in on the menu
Swiss Fondue-Lover here. Pro Tip 1: Rub the pan before use with 1-2 Garliccloves Pro Tip 2: Bevor you eat the last few bites of the fondue ad one egg an stir it with the rest of the cheese And no, there is no substitute for the wine
Finnaly.. i don't get at all why people want to substitute wine so badly someone even suggested vinegar like holy fuck why don't people get that wine is a part of the fondue ? if you don't want wine don't make fondue its that simple
If you use starch instead of flour, you will need less and don't risk getting clumps. Kirsch is used traditionnaly In Switzerland, not wine ;) use this if you can find it (strong unsweet alcool made from cherries)
Cheese Fondue is most likely my all time favorite food. Unfortunately, I don't drink (or in this case, eat) alcohol, which is too bad, because this is the easiest cheese fondue recipe I've ever come across.
We don't recommend cream as a substitute for the wine, Gadis Monster. A better alternative would be chicken stock, Nofati. Or mix 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice with 1 cup of stock or grape juice (for sweetness).
In Switzerland, especially in Wallis, they say that you absolutely need the wine, lots of wine, and Cherry, and more wine, in the fondue and with the fondue, did I mention the oil tanker quantity of wine and the Kirsch, because otherwise the cheese might form clumps in the stomach and lead to constipation (children drink hot tea), not sure if that's just a myth created to drink more wine. No really, barrels of wine. It's wonderful.
The lemon works because it contains Sodium Citrate, which is a "melting salt"naturally occurring in citrus. You can buy sodium citrate online from some spice vendors and it makes the ultimate mac and cheese sauce as well silky smooth alfredo sauces that will never break..
no, no you can't don't listen to people who say otherwise its like pepperoni pizza without pepperoni. and for fucks sake don't ever use buttermilk or HOLY FUCK apple juice? just NO.
+ Mal aika -- Late to the party, but here's my two cents' worth: I wouldn't use milk, because the two cheeses have already contributed enough dairy. Water adds nothing to the flavor profile. So as others have suggested, you might want to try white grape juice, apple juice, or even apple cider. And don't listen to tamahagane; it's YOUR fondue, you can use whatever you like. And his comparison to pepperoni pizza without the pepperoni is ludicrous; the key ingredient in fondue is CHEESE, not wine.

Another option to replace the white wine would be chicken stock, Nofati. Or mix 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice with 1 cup of stock or grape juice (for sweetness). We're apprehensive about mixing vinegar and milk; it's going to curdle--you know like sour milk.
3:08 PM 4/7/2014 Cheese fondue is a tradition in Europe not in America. If they had cheese fondue at restaurants like Apple Bees or Carlos O Kellys this is what they serve while you are waiting for your food. Instead of eating chips and dip, its cheese fondue. I know its good. Im already full. If a restaurant serves cheese fondue I hope they are serving bread bowl soup too. Maybe sub sandwiches there too?
+ Elissa Celino -- There's no need to avoid wine just because children will be eating it; the cooking process cooks out a lot of the alcohol, leaving only the flavors behind, and the small amount of alcohol left is mixed with a lot of cheese so the per-person amount of alcohol is minimal.
Savannah Vasquez its a spice, a small, rounded and brown seed, it adds a delicious flavour to bechamel sauce and anything salty with cheese or cream c:
Glad to have your question, Savannah Vasquez. Nutmeg is a spice, the small oval or round-shaped seed of an evergreen tree (genus Myristica) in the Spice Island of Indonesia. When the seeds are ground into a dry, very fine grain, the spice adds both flavor and aroma to baked goods making them delicately spicy. The nutmeg seeds give the most flavor if they are freshly ground on a small hand grater right when you want to use the spice.
Can you substitute the wine? Absolutely! You can make Beer Fondue instead of traditional fondue with wine. Seriously, all these people saying milk and vinegar, they're just trolling you trying to get you to turn a pot of milk on your stove into a curdled mess. But you can make fresh cheese that way, just not fondue.
Chef John, why would your channel send me here? I was so looking forward to hearing your voice and the cheesy puns that may have come from this video, but hearing this stranger's voice with no hello was so shocking to me, I don't know if I can briecover. @therealChefJohn
Sorry about that, miyubail. Did you taste the cheeses before you grated them? They might have been aged extra time, which could affect their taste. Was the flour "off" somehow? It's hard to know without being in your kitchen to watch you do the prep work.
its an easier base to combine with cheese , used to make it all the time like that and people loved it at the restaurant i worked at. My main issue is by just adding plain flower, and not cooking it, it will taste off.
3:02 PM 4/7/2014 Holy crap Im full. I just made some again. It helps if you shred the cheese. Cooks better. Ive always just chopped up the cheese and cooked it in the wine like that. Don't do it like that. It cooks better shredding the cheese.
3:03 PM 4/7/2014 To me its not worth making unless you already have the cheese shredded. Alls you have to do is melt the cheese and add in whatever ingredients. Plus when the cheese dries up. DONT REHEAT IT. If it dries up perfectly just eat it like that. The cheese isn't good to melt again. It doesn't cook right so I wouldn't do it again. Just eat it with chips or melt new cheese. Melt smokey cheese in fondue so when it dries up you made your own smokey cheese you can taste. That's what I did, tasted better than what they sell at the stores ( I don't want to bash but what I made was good, I hate saying reviews like this but didn't have the machine oil taste to it).
This is NOT a classic cheese fondue. What a joke of a recipe! Nobody in Switzerland adds salt to a fondue, there is already plenty of it in the cheese. Nobody adds lemon juice either. Nobody uses flour, corn starch is what should be used instead. Do not waste a quality wine, use the cheapest dry one you can find as it will make no difference at all. Do not use Sauvignon blanc! Where is the garlic? Also the quantities of wine/starch/cheese must be well-balanced or the fondue will be bad. Do not try this recipe if you want a real fondue.
The entire time she’s adding all this fancy stuff and I’m just like bitch you thought!! I was looking for something easy who has time to go buy special wine ugh hell no
Rather than adding in flour, toss the grated cheese with a tablespoon or so of corn starch (U.K. cornflour) beforehand, so the cheese is very lightly dusted. This will thicken & help emulsify it, reducing the chance of separation.
Excellent suggestion....THANK YOU...!!
Another option is just using heavy whipping cream instead of all that. Just add the cheese directly to it and there is no flower needed
before u add the wine to the pot u cut a clove of garlic in half and rub the whole pot with the garlic then mince it and add to the pot
It’s not your recipe madam

yeah right, like im having brocolli with that

I love dipping boiled potato in a cheese fondue
love cheesy fondue especially with beer in it...yummm, great recipe!

Pro Tip 1: Rub the pan before use with 1-2 Garliccloves
Pro Tip 2: Bevor you eat the last few bites of the fondue ad one egg an stir it with the rest of the cheese
And no, there is no substitute for the wine
Finnaly.. i don't get at all why people want to substitute wine so badly someone even suggested vinegar like holy fuck why don't people get that wine is a part of the fondue ? if you don't want wine don't make fondue its that simple
Tamahagane, can I use Boone's Farm or MD2020?
it's interesting that i often see fondue-recipies without garlic outside of switzerland.
add green apples and wow!
If you use starch instead of flour, you will need less and don't risk getting clumps. Kirsch is used traditionnaly In Switzerland, not wine ;) use this if you can find it (strong unsweet alcool made from cherries)
This Recepie is just incomplete. First we add pressed garlic with the wine. Kirsch is added in additon and not instead of wine. Just for taste ;)
Hmmmmm that sounds scrummy
Cheese lover... nyammmnyammmnyan...
Anything to replace the wine ( non alcoholic) ?
It evaporates.....
Chicken or vegetable stock. Unsweetened apple juice works well, too.
Cheese Fondue is most likely my all time favorite food. Unfortunately, I don't drink (or in this case, eat) alcohol, which is too bad, because this is the easiest cheese fondue recipe I've ever come across.
+ LailyCouture -- You can substitute one cup of white grape juice plus one teaspoon of lemon juice.
Can i add water or milk ? and cancel wine
what substitute can i use for wine? I can't have alcohol on my food.
I’ll try the lemon tip as my cheese does separate ☹️
Is there a substitute for the Fondo pot? Looking forward to trying this recipe, thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your question, Ann. You can use a heavy bottom pan instead of the fondue pot. Enjoy!
thank you
Can i use tapioca starch to coat the cheese,?
Can I replace wine with cream? Cuz I can't take wine.
We don't recommend cream as a substitute for the wine, Gadis Monster. A better alternative would be chicken stock, Nofati. Or mix 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice with 1 cup of stock or grape juice (for sweetness).
Sure. You can also just pee in the pot and then add the cheese.
In Switzerland, especially in Wallis, they say that you absolutely need the wine, lots of wine, and Cherry, and more wine, in the fondue and with the fondue, did I mention the oil tanker quantity of wine and the Kirsch, because otherwise the cheese might form clumps in the stomach and lead to constipation (children drink hot tea), not sure if that's just a myth created to drink more wine. No really, barrels of wine. It's wonderful.
The question was about a wine substitute for someone who cannot have wine.
Anything sour could be decent substitute, things like vinegar or lemon juice.
Add cornstarch with the liquid first with Kirch then cheese...
The lemon works because it contains Sodium Citrate, which is a "melting salt"naturally occurring in citrus. You can buy sodium citrate online from some spice vendors and it makes the ultimate mac and cheese sauce as well silky smooth alfredo sauces that will never break..
Thank you for the info, Adam Dagna. Very good to know the cooking chemistry for this recipe!
How many servings does it make?
Where is the garlic? The video never adds it. The written description says it is included.
Any substitute for alcohol?
The alcohol evaporates, there will be 0% alcohol when it's cooked.
Can i use milk or water instead of the wine?
Use buttermilk
Sure! Also, try white grape juice or apple juice as a substitute.
no, no you can't don't listen to people who say otherwise its like pepperoni pizza without pepperoni. and for fucks sake don't ever use buttermilk or HOLY FUCK apple juice? just NO.
People also use beer.

I don't even drink wine with some alcohol but I use milk and lemon instead of W.I.N.E
well, the alcohol evaporates completely. i know that, because alcohol causes an anaphylactic shock with me, and i never had a problem with fondue!
i don't wanna use vine tell me something else ....
