Found this at the apartment I'm staying at and flipped through it; it looks delicious! I miss having fondue. It's been a very long time.

While this book was just fine, I was hoping for more focus on the fondue process and the actual cheese/broth/oil/chocolate you are using. This book feels more like a book of recipes that happen to all use a fondue pot.

For instance the ingredient list identifies/seperates the marinade ingredients, but not ingredients will go into the fondue pot. Not a big deal, I can read the recipe, but IMO the joy of fondue is simple ingredients diped in a delicious liquid and then (maybe) in delicious sauces.

The one thing I did like was the section on dipping sauces, I love sauces!

Short and sweet beginners guide to fondue. I wish there had been a list of cheese combinations that go well together and an overall list of ingredients you can dip in cheese fondue. Instead it’s a ton of little recipes and ingredients that will go with those recipes. I’m excited to try some new things that I haven’t before from this book, but would have alap appreciated broader guides I could reference easily.
