Sitting around a fondue pot with friends is a cheesy delight—who doesn’t love a cozy get-together over delicious, ooey-gooey comfort food? Cheese fondue originated in Switzerland, where the earliest known recipe for "Käss mit Wein zu kochen" (translation: "to cook cheese with wine") was printed in a 1699 Zurich cookbook. The Swiss continue to promote the dish; the motto "fondue isch guet und git e gueti luune" (translation: “fondue is good and creates a good mood") even has its own acronym: FIGUGEGL.
