Fondue for Valentine Day

If you’re tired of doing the same thing every year for Valentines day and are looking for a great way to do something sexy for your partner, then this year instead of flowers and dinner, consider making that special someone a delicious and romantic fondue! It’s easy, takes only a little preparation and has a wow factor second to none. If you follow a few simple rules, you can score points and win some much needed loving for these next few cold months!

 

Buy a fondue Pot

You can find moderately priced fondue sets for under $50. Check Online for different prices and models. We suggest getting a dual fondue pot which can do both meat and of course, chocolate. If you are buying a cheese fondue set, make sure it can be cleaned easilyand is resistant to burning. Look for good ceramic Fondue sets for this

Get your Ingredients

If you’re thinking cheese, try and find flavors that will complement each other. Some of the most popular cheeses for fondues are Gruyere and Emmenthal. Look for kirsch or apple juice as a mix and you’ll have one delicious cheese fondue. Don’t forget to have some semi stale crusty bread for dipping!!

If meat fondue is more your style, be sure to get decent stewing beef, fresh chicken and firm seafoods. if you’re health conscious, you can substitute chicken stock or vegetable stock instead of canola oil. This will reduce calories but extend cooking times. Remember to have firm vegetables on hand as well. Think Mushrooms, Bok Choy, Carrots and beans. Avoid those veggies that will go to mush immediately. If you do choose meat, it is extremely important to have enough fondue forks to seperate cooked and raw meats, particularly chicken. Nothing will ruin a romantic evening like samonella. Be sure to use plates with dividers or even better, seperate plates entirely.

Location, Location, Location…

The best spot for a romatic Valentines day fondue is on the floor, picnic style. Find a nice tablecloth, grab some pillows and spread out on the floor. You can also sit at a low level table. This will add a sense of romance to your evening and bring you that intimate feeling you’ll be looking for. The closer you get to a fireplace the better! Don’t forget the candles and of course, the dessert!

Chocolate Fondue, Fresh Fruit & Strawberries

A great way to finish your evening is with a sexy chocolate fondue. Make sure you get the proper melting chocolate, add some cream and stir, stir, stir. Cut some fresh banana, pineapple and of course, fresh strawberries. Dip the fruit in the melting chocolate, let cool for a few seconds and enjoy. Remeber napkins as this portion can get messy! If you do the chocolate fondue right you will definetely reap the rewards tenfold.

Remember to keep it fun, relaxed and sexy. There’s nothing better than being alone with your lover, eating fondue by the fire, enjoying a beautiful glass of champagne and enjoying the sparkle of your lovers eyes? You can thank me later!! Have a very sexy Valentines day!! Cheers!
