My friend, Tara, who ...Thank you for your comments. My friend, Tara, who wrote the post, was, I believe, trying to mimic Stephanie O'Dea's format in giving the recipe and then giving the verdict. When I first started following Stephanie's blog, I was also a little frustrated that she waited until the end to tell that the recipe was a fail. I quickly learned to read through the entire post first and then even read through some of the comments to see concerns and tips her other readers had. Tara and I attempted to take some of Stephanie's recipes and make it our own, many times with success, and a few times not so much. <br /><br />I hope that even though your recipe also turned out watery it was still delicious. Thank you, again, for your input. Tara and I both appreciate any tips and concerns our viewers may have.

I thought your recipe sounded so good, and I had no reason to keep reading once I went through the recipe and step by step! I didn't see your indication that the recipe didn't work until I had already bought everything and came back to the page to look at the recipe again.<br /><br />After making the fondue and comparing it back to Stephanie's recipe (which I have made before), she clearly uses less wine and more cheese. The lil dipper had no problem melting my cheese, it melted in less than 30 minutes. I think the problem was that there was too much wine (I added all of my leftover gruyere, but still very watery.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
