We had a fondue party the other night. I found these recipes on Recipezaar and I was so happy when they all exceeded our expectations. They were very comparable to what we have had at The Melting Pot.

(I doubled this recipe and it was just enough for 4)

Ingredients

Directions
1-start with 4 oz of base (skim milk)
2-add garlic.
3-add 3 shakes of mustard powder.
4-stir.
5-add small amount of cheddar cheese (I added about 1 cup of shredded cheddar. small bits at a time)
6-mix thoroughly (using whipping motion until cheese is melted).
7-add five turns of pepper grinder.
8-add three to four shakes of worcestershire sauce.
9-fold in pepper & worcestershire.
