Hi Annette, Eau de Vie is fabulous stuff when you’ve had a rich, heavy meal – you really do wake up feeling better the next day! I have 2 varieties – framboise (raspberry) and mirabelle (yellow plum). They both came from Alsace – I have a friend from that region that brings me a bottle when he visits (good friend to have!).

Gail,

What kind of Eau de Vie did you serve? I have been hearing alot about having that type of drink after dinner with coffee and feeling better, not so stuffed and not as ill the next day. TFS

Wow! A wonderful organization! It would be great to have a place around that so appealing table. Your friends are so lucky. I love everything there, especially the special sauces.

We missed you Mum! It was indeed a successful night, as confirmed by lack of leftovers and the mess!

Where we we!! After all, we are of the 70s mob. Your recipes looked fabulous – I don’t know where you source them from – not from me!! Your friends looked sated, not to be confused with sauteed. Obviously a truly successful night as there were no leftovers, so another one to chalk up. Well done

Hi Isabella – Agreed, fondue is the perfect winter food. Yes, Trixie enjoys a good dinner party too!

Hi Sophie – Thank you, almost everything got eaten, so I’ll take that as a sign that everyone enjoyed!

Hi Sam & Simon – It was great to have you there and so glad you enjoyed yourselves.

Hi Jessie – Yes, it really was a lot of fun!

Hi Duo Dishes – It’s a shame we don’t see fondue more often, as it’s so delicious and is a fun way to enjoy a meal with friends.

Hi Sam & Steve, Yes I was happy with the addition of porcini mushrooms in the Cheese Fondue. Deep fried meat is indeed decadent and I think the Eau de Vie saved us all from indigestion after such a rich and large meal!

PS: Forgot to add – how good is deep fried meat? Something so moreish, yet guilt-inducing, about it… I don’t think I have had the extremely retro Fondue Bourguignonne since my mum cooked it in the 70s – no wonder my parents generation loved Fondue night.
