What fun.... Fondue recipes are plenty and there are some great sites out there: Here and Here for starters.
We enjoyed a chocolate fondue, a vegan mushroom fondue as well as a cheese fondue recipe we found in Sunset Magazine.
And if you don't have a fondue set...you should. You are in luck because Ebay offers some delightful sets a la 70's....
This is a recipe that I am asked to make time and time again. I can never photograph them fast enough- they disappear quickly.
Link to recipe, Thanks Ina.... here
Before I fell into my first trimester slumber... I made Queso Blanco. Queso Blanco, which means white cheese in Spanish, is one of the easiest cheeses to make. It is sometimes called farmer's cheese and variations of Queso Blanco are found not only in Spain but all over Mexico, Central and South America.
This recipe is from this great book about Cheese Making: Home Cheese Making
What you need:
In a large pot, bring the milk between 185 and 190 F and continue to stir to prevent scorching.
Add the vinegar slowly and increase temp to 200 F -Curds will begin to form.
Ladle Curds into a colander lined with a cheese cloth.
Tie the cheesecloth into four and hang the bag to drain for a few hours or even overnight.
Remove the cheese, shape and refrigerate for up to two weeks.
Yields 1 1/2 to 2 lbs.
This cheese is delicious on top of tacos....
