Fondue originated in Switzerland as a way to use up hardened cheese and stale bread. The dish gained popularity in the 1930s when Swiss chefs began serving it in their restaurants. The traditional recipe includes Gruyère and Emmental cheeses, white wine, and a splash of kirsch. The mixture is heated in a communal pot, and diners dip pieces of bread into the gooey, melted cheese using long forks. Today, the best fondue can still be found in the Swiss Alps, where it's a beloved après-ski tradition. For a twist, try chocolate fondue, where fruits and marshmallows are dipped into melted chocolate.
