Today I’ve been blogging elsewhere. I posted two cheese fondue recipes on the Kookgrrls’ Weblog: Mexican fondue for Christmas, and Saint’s fondue for Sinterklaas.
If you don’t know about Sinterklaas, check out Iris on Books and Leeswammes‘; both have posted about it in this year’s Virtual Advent Tour.
Mr Gnoe and I originated this tradition to eat cheese fondue on St.-Nicholas’ night a few years ago. We had made this one before, using abbey cheese and wheat beer.
It is less usual for us to have another fondue at Christmas, but we had friends visiting who love a guacamole & tortilla dip, so a Mexican cheese fondue with cheddar seemed perfect.
Unfortunately for English readers of Graasland both recipes are in Dutch.

In addition, my favorite food just happens to be cheese…

Nice tradition to have with friends. I’ll have to think about that — we have some lovely cheeses leftover from New Years that would work well. Hummm.

That really is a great tradition :) I had fondue with S. on the 26th of December, but we used a cheese-mix from the supermarket. The best fondue I’ve ever made was using this recipe: http://www.justhungry.com/proper-swiss-cheese-fondue, the La Vache qui Rit really bound the cheeses together.

@ elsje: glad you liked it! Had a lovely day :))
@ Beth F: you should! Make a nice cheese fondue and invite some friends — such a good way to start the new year! :)
@ Chinoiseries: Don’t you just love JustBento/JustHungry? :D We sometimes make Swiss Cheese Fondue but we like to try something diffeent every once in a while. Great tip on the La Vache Qui Rit though ;)
