- A poor fondue book - limited vision, limited recipes
- This book would get 2 stars, but, at this price, one really can't complain.
However, if you're looking for interesting recipes, but are perhaps somewhat harder to find ingredients for, see "Fondues from around the world" instead, also sold from Amazon.
More on "125 best recipes" book:
Here's what's good about this book:
1) easy, accessible (in terms of finding the recipe in the book, and obtaining ingredients), recipes.
2) cover's various styles of fondues ... but I expect that out of any devoted fondue book.
Here's what's flawed:
1) This is a 125 *best* fondue recipe book. There are many recipes in this book explicitly designed for kids, as if parents don't know what their kids like, or that kids have a discriminating (perhaps picky though) palate? These are simply wasted pages. It's like finding a watered down mac and cheese recipe -several times- in your shiny new cookbook, which, in this case, happens to be titled, *best* fondue recipes...
2) limited vision: most of the cheese fondue recipes (for example) are exactly the same: same cheeses, etc., with 1 or 2 different final ingredients. These could have easily been collapsed into one recipe, saving space for something more novel, for example, in the cheese section.
3) Each recipe comes with a little "serve with" section, but these parts are clearly hurried, and unresearched. Most of the cheese recipes are "serve with bread" etc. Nothing most readers won't already know. This section should state something more interesting: like trying the brie fondue with *pear* wedges (my suggestion) - 2008-02-26, 10 of 11 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Fondue Just got more tantilizing!!!
- I was not big on Fondue till I got this book. The recepies are easy to follow and are great tasting. I have looked through several fondue books prior to purchasing this one. If you had to get just one book that has it all....this book does that and much more. Fondue has taken on a whole new meaning thanks to this book!!!!

- Fondue gone Wrong
- I was looking for good classical fondue receipes but found this book full of off the wall asian receipies and other things one wouldn't normally associate with fondue. I'm sure they are all very nice but for a basic fondue book it would not be my choice and it is expensive for what it is.

- Fondu book
- When I purchased my LeCruset fondu pot, there was a wonderful paperback
recipe book beside it. Sadly, I thought the price was too high...and
based on the reviews at Amazon I purchased this book. Its paper is
not as nice, its presentations (pictures) are not as nice...and it
won't lie flat. With this type of cooking, I think it is nice to have
the better pictures and presentations...and the more expensive book. - 2007-01-11, 4 of 20 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- The 125 BEST Fondue Recipes for beginner to pro
- This fondue book is so great! It gives simple and plain instructions and ingredients along with a great choice of all types of fondue's. I love it so much that I have purchased three as gifts for other fondue lovers.
