Fondue Party Ideas & Recipes

[@saraeverafter]

Honestly, you can find really great menus all over the internet, but The Game Plan is what sets your menus apart for me. Nobody tells you how/when to prep and serve and you're left the day of with not enough ovens or time to figure it out before the food gets cold. Thank you SO much for that!

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Aw, aren't you sweet! You are doing all the right things, sharing, liking, subscribing and of course watching our videos, are the best things you can do! Thanks for all the support, it always means so much to us over here :) xx B

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Ha! Yes you caught me. I have a convection upper oven and a regular lower oven. I usually don't like to use the convection for baking, but I was in a rush! It cooks everything so quickly! I find it tricky with baking and the conversion, but for meats, it's a girl's best friend! Juiciest chickens, turkeys. roasts ever! Set it for 325 Roast and it does all the work for you! Seriously awesome!

Welcome to KZbin Kathy! Yes of course all the ingredients and full instructions are typically listed in a video's description. To see that just click SHOW MORE under the player. On my Kin and EWB videos you'll either find the full recipe there, OR a link to our Tumblr page with the full recipes there. I hope that helps and feel free to reach back out if you can't find it. :) Beth

[@janassonntag]

[@kishorideshpande9774]

Great video but the recipe link doesn’t work. I would like to know the exact quantities for chocolate fondue. Can you please share?

[@nathaliebenamou272]

She is absolutely amazing!

[@2NE1972000]

THE BEST FONDUE MENU EVER!!!!!! ♥

[@mimimouche97]

OK OK I am making this whole dinner party for my friends tommorow night and I am sooo excited!! Thank you Beth for sharing you're food. Hopefully it'll go well !!

[@garlicgirl3149]

Able to do it?

[@mimimouche97]

yes the salad was amazing!!!!

[@garlicgirl3149]

French Bread Thank you!

[@cindysayavong8513]

Everyone should have watched this video before attempting fondu. Thank you for sharing.

[@longhairbear]

I LOVE this menu, thank you! I live in a fun mid century neighborhood in Palm Springs. 7 households on our street get together monthly for a pot luck, and we all bought, or dusted off our Fondue sets for a themed pot luck, It hasn't happened yet. I'm posting this vid of your's on Facebook for all my neighbors to see. We might do a Fondue Crawl much like our New Year's Eve crawl we do annually. Thanks for the tip about adding flour to the cheese mixture, I had my test run sauce separate.

[@justynjonn]

Superb menu! Looking forward to doing a Fondue this weekend!

[@missmaysonmain4681]

You are awesome! Made your fig tart today and it was great . Thank you

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Sure. You could use Amaretto for a nice Almond Taste, Frangelico for Hazelnut, or Grand Marnier for an orange flavor. All would be great! Add to the melted chocolate while in the sauce pan, but first TURN OFF THE FLAME (to avoid the fumes from igniting), then add the liquor, mix and then pour into the Fondue pot. Enjoy!

[@29wsani]

Very interesting! I tried the broccoli and shrimps stir fry...it was simply amazing...loved the simplicity and delicious..my little boy who does not like veggies...ate it all..all I did was to serve it with some jasmine rice. Thanks so much.

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Ha! Oh yes Trader Joe's is a beloved brand here in the states. It's actually a Grocery Store that also makes their own line of products. The reason we all love it is that they are really inexpensive! Probably the reason lots of YTbers use them, they have a great selection of basic and gourmet products, and most of their items are also pretty healthy too! They are seriously just the best! If you ever come to the US, you must visit one :)

[@patrickelijah4930]

InstaBlaster...

[@MrinheartsOfficial]

Beth, I literally had a grin from ear to ear for a whole minute into the video ... you guys make me so so happy, and your long menu videos just make my Saturdays! Is there any way in which us viewers can help a bit more substantially with KinCommunity, other than sharing your videos, liking, subscribing, etc.? I believe in you guys so much! =)

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Sure you can keep it in the fridge for 3-4 days and just warm it up in the microwave or toaster. It also freezes very well too!

[@flawlesscat14]

I tried the chocolate fondue and it was delicious thanks so much! Love you Beth!!!!!

[@natashaescobar4310]

I am so excited to try this out. I have always wanted to host a party like this, but had no idea where to start. Thank you so much Beth. As always I love your videos. Thank you so much for all of the non alcohol options you are putting in your videos. My husband and I appreciate them!!

[@josianeguay6300]

I love your videos Beth! So creative, informative, energetic, practical, motivating and inspiring. xx

[@beladobaile]

Oh! They're back! I love your long menu videos. Thank you so much. You're the best, Beth.

[@arleneh.1107]

Love the Trader Joe’s ingredients! I’ll be doing all my shopping there too!!

[@feelalive5alive]

Oh Beth and Kin Community, you've done it again! A beautifully well done video with wonderful ideas that makes me want to immediately clean my kitchen and entertain some guests! Fondueliscious!

[@AussieAngeS]

Fabulous video, I loved it. I've never tried a fondue party.. Let almond fondue anything! Hmm very tempting. Thank you

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Oh yes, great idea! Will definitely tackle this as the summer approaches and BBQs and potlucks are in full swing!

[@BobBridgesbob]

Great video! But where can we find the poundcake recipe? I really want to try that one for our fondue night!

[@jro589]

I'm a person who doesn't really like to cook...but these video have gotten me back into the kitchen! Thank you for all these great recipes!

[@iamEatingRight]

Loved that you included the piece on etiquette! Great, simple and easy to follow video.

[@Zia77AroundTheWorld]

Well worth the wait Beth! Everything looks wonderful as usual. Just as I begin to stress about the preparation you saved the day with your game plan! Love how you give us all hope that we too can do this!

[@waroocc]

The pound cake recipe in the menu is really nice and simple. The first time I make it was to have it without fondue, and I can't stop eating it. I wonder how long can it be kept in the fridge and if there're any ways to warm it up again nicely. Other recipes from both this channel and Beth's are also fancy. I've tried her shrip stir fried too and it was delicious.

[@mylittleShinigamy]

I don't cook, and I doubt i can find half of the things in my market, but I still watched the entire video. I found it very interesting and full of information, plus the food looks so good and yummy it made me hungry. Great video!

[@workofivory]

Loved this video, Beth and KIN team! I'm blown away by all the hard work that goes into the making of these videos. You guys have thought of everything! Bravo! x

[@littleokapi3]

So so so so happy these videos are back! Thank you for another great round recipes!!

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Well, I wouldn't recommend this. Only because on the jar of Nutella is says not to warm it. Mostly because it will separate due to all the oil in it. BUT, what you could do is use Milk Chocolate for your fondue (instead of bittersweet) leave out the Vanilla extract, and instead use Hazelnut extract. It's usually right next to the vanilla extract in your supermarket. And you will have the same taste, but with a more stable fondue. Enjoy!

[@jevenspielt3707]

Hmm ... I love your videos and recipes, Beth! But this fondue makes me sad. I'm from Switzerland and was growing up with fondue. I know both: the fondue with cheese and the fondue chinoise with meat which you cook in bouillon. And the fondue pot you have is originally for fondue chinoise. The pot for cheese fondue should be ceramic and it's called caquelon. Oh by the way. For me it's very interesting which ingredients you use. I don't really know what your Swiss Cheese taste like. Is it like Emmentaler, or Appenzeller? Because Gruyère is originally from Switzerland too, so what flavor has Swiss Cheese? ^^' PS: For my favorite fondue we use moitié-moitié which means half-half, because it's half Gruyère and half Vacherin Fribourgeois :3 And I love to use homemade baked "Buurebrot" which is translated as farmer bread. My sister loves to eat the fondue with fresh ananas and clementines, my father likes cornichons and I like my fondue pure with the bread ^^' And potatoes we only eat with Raclette and other warm cheese dish :3 PPS: I love eating with the fondue fork, never used normal forks ^^'

[@gloristef]

wow.. this is so interesting. didn't know about this kind of dinner parties until now.. i was wondering, does it feel like too much cheese and chocolate when you are eating? I thought I would get sick.. haha.. btw I liked reading ur comment.

[@kathybirkland1212]

Love your entertaining vlogs, Actually I’m learning a lot from you.

[@apy2499]

Love you video, Beth! Although Fondue is not my family's kind of food, you make it seem so fun and delicious. Thanks!

[@CookingWithCarolyn]

Fabulous video!

[@annymouz]

This is why I LOVED you guys in Kin Community, everything seems easy and well guided. Keep it up! XOXO

[@chansomey]

i loveeeeeeeeeee this video, so fun to watch. it's 19 mins,but it was not boring. cant wait to try the chocolate fondue

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Sure you could use red wine vinegar or champagne vinegar or white wine vinegar would all be good choices too! Or you could totally omit it and just use a bit more mustard :)

[@muffinmayen77]

This is very educational. I love it. Thank you so much for doing this.

[@altynbrenham3719]

I Loooooooooov iiiiitttt!!! Beth, thanks for sharing your videoxx

[@57924hv]

Inspired! Yet again :) My spring break is coming up and so this will be a perfect thing to do with some friends. Thanks!

[@mylizzylove1]

Beth's using coffee just to enhance the flavor of the fondue, but you could certainly make it without coffee and it will still be delicious!

[@TheSweetestThingCS]

by far your best party menu! love the fondue tips at the end!!

[@TheTakeOutDiet]

Yay, Beth is back. Love fondue, but I just found out that I love artichoke with anything, but creamy things especially

[@beaautylish]

This was amazing! Along with all of your other videos! I'm definitely using this!

[@morningmayan]

[@lashun1st]

[@CostcoclubbingMom]

my favorite kind of videos, and i am loving the use of trader joe's items as i can closely replicate these recipes! thanks!

[@samanthaajeann]

I love this! When you were putting the cake in the oven, was it a convection oven?? I noticed the fan in the back was running and was wondering if your temps were done for convection! I just got one in my new house and I am loving it, but hate having to do all the conversions!

[@Derbyberry]

Loved this video.. What a great info of fondue party... Beth u rock...

So now first, I’m gonna buy a fondue pot!!! :D P. S I’m one of your best fan’s!! :)

[@kmpizzle]

I love these videos they're so classy

[@ritalyon3567]

Would you have any how-to suggestions about adding chocolate fondue and dippers to a buffet line? Thanks.

[@annatata1234]

this fondue party looks so much fun! I didnt hear of it before but you made me try it out with my friends!!! You are so lovely Beth and very charming! Do you have any trick of making a low fat homemade mayo? Thanks

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Aw you are too kind :) So glad you like the videos! :)

[@rogercurtis9876]

Love your videos... ha ha ha I like how you had the guys making the fon don’ts

[@Aryat1979]

OMG Beth!! I really loved watching this video. I'm looking forward to host a Fondue Party myself with this recipes and tips. BTW, looking forward to your Easter Brunch menu. I have a pot-luck on Eastern day and need a new recipe to bring to the party. Did I mention...I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!

[@SilverSugar21]

Loved this video! One question tho, once ur guests are done with the cheese fondue, you would have to wash the fondue pot and what would you do with the cheese? And while your washing, what would you serve your guests?

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Aw yes the challenges of convection cooking. It can be tricky. I actually really prefer it for meats. The secret is to use the "convection roast setting" which is 325 degrees. And roast the meat. makes it so tender and juicy! I haven't done recipes calling for convection because I'd be afraid a lot of people wouldn't have one. Funny you noticed it in the vid. I did that b/c it's quicker and I had a crew waiting for it! LOL! :)

[@KaterinaGeorganta]

I can't believe it! Some friends boight me a fondue pot and I was supposed to invite them for a fondue party, but I had no idea how to do it! Great great timing!!!! Thank you for all the tips!!!

[@DogCrazy4194]

This was an absolutely amazing idea! I love all of the menus you present to us:) Keep making more of these:) Perhaps the next idea could be a menu for a birthday party for adults? Thanks so much!

[@shanbananx]

I love these menu videos!

[@rickpamaran5238]

Yum, I have 2 fondue pots which I've never used. Thank god I ran into you, as now they'll be coming out of their boxes.

[@lagunamiller]

You are AMAZING! Better then Martha Stewart! Thanks for your very helpful videos! You always go way above & beyond. I love it! Cheers!

[@krystalkemp5520]

I love this tip on fondue cannot wait to host a party

[@johnsmithsspottedpig]

Very helpful video. Thank you!

[@aquaroux7749]

I love your energy and menu!

[@failurechild88]

I'm going to try that flour tip for the melted cheese! Have you tried apples with the cheese fondue? Pink lady works really good with gruyere

[@PinkwithaP]

Lovely menu and fondue idea! I'm going to try it. But I think rather than babysitting my guests at the table, I'd lay out the cut food items, having guests serve themselves from a buffet as if to serve an appropriate dinner portion of each item, proceed to sit at the table, cutting your potato etc. and ready the portions for dipping. I'm even leaning toward having a small bowl for serving the fondue out onto for each his own personal dipping portion. It may take away from the fondue pot folklore, but I think it would still feel more comfortable than having to take turns to dip in the main pot. Either way, I love this menu, including the dessert one!!

[@CaptnRon2023]

One of my FAVES!!!!

[@roselee7005]

I've been waiting for these videos!!!

[@mortfrommadagascar2003]

Hi Beth love this menu thanks!!!

[@everythingMonicaYT]

Wonderful!

[@longhairbear]

Hi, I noticed you use a convection oven for the pound cake. I love my convection oven, but can never get poultry, especially turkey to cook thoroughly. Any convection oven menus coming up?

[@ViraliModi01]

Thank you so much for these videos! I love them!

[@tozzilil]

I love fondue. I serve mine with roasted potatoes, pickled garlic, Mini gherkins, bread, apples, salami and steak.

[@sasukeuchiha436]

Hi Beth! Is there another alternative for the white balsamic vinegar for the salad dressing? Thanks :)

[@nataliesal24]

This looks like fun!! Where did you get your glass drinking goblets on your table?

[@burningitx]

Hi Beth !! OMG I've been waiting all week for your video ! You are awesome! Still waiting for a Mexican theme fiesta party menu :)

[@nathanramojal2454]

I wacth your videos! They look so yummy!

[@Arcenia13]

Oh how fun! I will have to invest in a fondu and grab the ladies to come in for a dip! ;>

[@RaffaelDrew]

Hey Beth! This is an awesome idea! In this video you used some aluminium foil to cover up the foods ..can i use a cling wrap instead? just wondering.. I always love chocolate fondue thingy. XD

[@melanietruot5655]

ooh mama that looks delicious

[@jj-tq9qz]

I love the idea

[@maggiimay]

Great ideas!

[@Socialmediaoverload]

Beth I saw a all-clad fondue set at marshalls for $99 is that a good price? I know all-clad make really nice items but do you still think that's too pricey? I have a small fondue set I got from pier 1 but was looking for something that would serve more people.

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Oh that sounds like a BLAST! What fun! If you do it, take pictures and post them to my EWB facebok page, would love to see that in action! :)

[@jessicavije]

YESSS been waiting for this since FOREVER!

[@cilliapeters216]

Classic!

[@michelletapham]

This is now my favorite menu!!!! :)
