There's a reason cheese fondue never really goes out of style: It's delicious. The accouterments can be anything that benefits from a dip in some cheese: olive and walnut breads, apples and pears, salami, steamed broccoli and cauliflower, or sautéed mushrooms. Be sure to include a few palate-cleansing pickles, like cornichons, to help cut the richness.

What to buy: When purchasing the cheese, buy 1-pound pieces to account for the unused rinds' weight.

Special equipment: You will need a fondue pot for this recipe. They can be purchased at most cooking stores and online. If you don't have a fondue pot, you can serve this in a slower cooker set on low. Note: The slow cooker will get hotter than a fondue pot, so you will need to stir the cheese mixture often.
