How far in advance can you make a cheese fondue?

    Actually I would suggest making the fondue right when you need it. For guests I do prep all the ingredients (grate the cheese, toss with cornstarch and cover to keep fresh), measure the other ingredients and make it on the spot. It has been my experience that making it in advance can pose problems and doens't allow you to look like Chef Boyardee while you are impressing them with your cool cooking skills. My usual recipe comes from Epicurious - see link.

    I prep everything including blanching the broccoli, cawliflower and cutting the apples (toss in lemon juice water to keep from browning) and the bread. When my fondue is ready, dinner is on. It never fails to impress and it tastes great.

    My last suggestion is to make it on the stovetop and transfer it to a hot fondue pot rubbed with garlic - that way I can control the heat better.

    You've made me hungry for fondue!
