Fondue Fanatics
October 11, 2010 | 1 min to read
For almost a decade, Connie Maltby has gotten together with friends during the holidays for melted Swiss cheese, French bread and a little white wine.
The Rockledge dental hygienist fell in love with cheese fondue when she lived in Switzerland. One of her Swiss friends ended up marrying the best man from her wedding and the couple host fondue parties here.
"I love cheese," said Maltby, 47, a mom of two teenagers. "And cheese fondue has such a strong and hearty flavor. It's just delicious."
After almost 30 years, fondue is making a comeback, according to the author of the recently released "Not Your Mother's Fondue." Chef and restaurant consultant Hallie Harron encourages readers to "dust off those fondue pots, call friends to come over, and prepare some imaginative dippers for the vast variety of fondues you can make at home."
In an interview, Harron attributed the resurgence of fondue to the economy.
