I've posted before about trying to replicate the mushroom fondue we had in Geneva once, but I think this time I captured a bit more of the wild mushroom flavour. In the initial phase of infusing the garlic into the white wine, I added a good handful of dried, sliced porcini mushrooms. These soaked up the wine, but gave the whole pot the earthy, woodsy aroma I was looking for. In the final thickening of cornflour, I used a bit of kirschwasser to slake it, and finished the pot with a little grated nutmeg and black pepper.
I liked finishing last year as I mean to go on with this year - delicious, simple food.

Wow - this looks so comforting. Perfect for this time of year
Would it be wrong of me to just drink that bowl? Looks amazing!
Beth - thanks!
Jo - you could, but it is so much better with big chunks of bread dunked in!
Thus looks like a wonderful dish to greet the New Year. It looks amazing and I'm sure it is delicious. I hope you have a great day. Blessings...Mary
Oh yum! Cheese and mushrooms will always get my vote. I like the sentiment of going out of one year with how you intend to continue the next! I look forward to sharing it vicariously!
Wowie! This sounds and looks fabulous! What a fun treat for a party!
I love the thought you put into bringing out the flavors in your Wild Mushroom Fondue, Foodycat. It looks heavenly and I would agree, dunking sounds like the way to go!
Thank you so much for sharing...
Melted cheese and mushrooms sounds like some sort of heaven to me!
Mary - fondue is one of my favourite, occasional treats!
C - I look forward to having you along for the ride!
Cafe Sucre - when I was growing up, it was what we had for most family celebrations. Although without the mushrooms.
Louise - not for the sharephobic though.
Cara - it's a blissful combination!
This looks amazingly decadent and like the perfect dinner with plenty of crusty bread. ;-)
