1 no ingredients
Directions
3 c mild cheddar cheese,
: shredded (you can also
: use sharp if you want)
1 c shredded swiss cheese
: 1/2 c beer (any kind will do)
: 1 ts minced garlic
: 1 ts dried mustard
: 1 ts Worchestershire sauce
: salt and pepper to taste
In a covered plastic bowl, mix cheeses and toss with a small handful
of flour to coat (this helps the cheese to melt nicely without
clumps). In a fondue pot (or sauce pan if you don't have one), bring
the beer to steaming, but not boiling.
Slowly mix in cheese, stirring constantly. If you have too much
cheese, and the sauce becomes too thick, you may need to add a little
more beer to thin it to your taste. Add garlic, worc. sauce, mustard,
and salt and pepper. Mix very well.
Turn your fondue pot or saucepan to low and dip away!
Use this delicious cheese sauce to dip:
Bread Chunks(rye, french, italian, pumpernickel, or any other kind)
Apple pieces (MacIntosh and Granny Smith work really well)
Carrot slices
Cauliflower florets
Any other raw vegetable you can think of!
Be careful! As you near the bottom of the pot, the cheese is VERY
hot. Walt MM

The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to track the history of written cooking instructions back into history, in truth as far back into history as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, sadly, these early cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a number of scripts which described recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his works, he recounts how the meals were split into appetizers, main course and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he tells us how the chefs of Roman times used a good variety of herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as basil, rue and parsley. During the next few hundred years, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe tried to serve up the best banquets, and consequentially the best cooks and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. However, it was during the nineteenth century the formal cooking and recipe collections rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, verifying, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on our web site. |
