About 2 months ago I found a caste iron fondu pot at a second hand shop.
So of course, we have been enjoying fondu--here a cheese fondu. I took the easy route and bought a ready-made cheese fondu package. Next week, though I will make it from scratch--garlic, white wine, kirsch, 3 different cheeses (beaufort, emmental, and comté) and nutmeg.
Isn't this a fun-looking cheese? It comes exactly like this, with all the ruffles.
Tête de Moine is a Swiss cheese. Its name, which means "Monk's Head," is derived from its invention and initial production by the monks of an abbey in French-speaking Switzerland (Canton of Bern).
The curls are the result of careful scraping with a knife in order to develop its scented flavors.
Does it taste good? Oh yes!!
Our kids are taking a break from Saturday's homework. We are at the Christmas market, eating small donuts (sugar coated or nutella filled) and sipping hot spiced apple juice. I kept taking pictures of them with their mouths full and so I told them just to hold off on the food and smile . . .
