Dining in the Next Normal: Recreate the Classic Old Swiss Inn Cheese Fondue Experience at Home with the Swiss Cheese Fondue Kit

When it comes to traditional cheese fondue, one restaurant always comes top-of-mind...


Old Swiss Inn now offers their all-time best-seller in convenient kits for take-out and delivery allowing loyal diners to recreate the experience at home with the new Swiss Cheese Fondue Kit from Fearless Apron. As we transition to a new normal, restaurants have also adapted ramping up their food delivery capabilities and offering creative product innovations like D-I-Y Home Kits as dining at home becomes part of the daily routine. It's also an opportunity for dine-in restaurants to reconnect with their customers, strengthening this relationship by extending their unique restaurant experience to dinner tables at home. Old Swiss Inn, along with Fearless Apron and Pinkie's Farm, are now offering their wide and diverse dishes and innovative products for take-out and delivery. Ready to start cookin' your very own fondue at home? 


Since 1946, Old Swiss Inn has been serving authentic European cuisine including its popular Swiss Cheese Fondue. With the prolonged quarantine and the uncertainty caused by the pandemic, Old Swiss Inn pivots with the times by offering its specialty Waatlander Fondue (P 1,300 for 2), the classic Swiss Cheese Fondue with bread cubes dipped in assorted cheeses like Gruyere and Emmental in convenient kits for delivery and take-out. Dining at home can now be special, memorable and engaging with Old Swiss Inn's Waatlander Fondue, boxed up and ready to prepare from Fearless Apron.


And who doesn't love cheese? The traditional fondue also offers a fun way of enjoying the rich cheese blend with long fondue forks the whole family will enjoy. Each Swiss Cheese Fondue Kit by Old Swiss Inn includes all the premium ingredients you need to recreate the fondue experience at home including a large packet of Assorted Swiss cheeses like Gruyere, Emmental and Raclette, a bag of bread cubes, white cooking wine, spice mixes and fresh garlic. Simple and easy-to-follow instructions are also contained in the kit. Creating the perfect fondue at home starts with the finest and freshest ingredients, and Old Swiss Inn packs all the essentials for you in a box conveniently delivered to your doorstep (for more on Old Swiss Inn, see my previous posts, First Taste: Old Swiss Inn's new Scamorza Cheese Fondue on their newest cheese fondue variant with its unique smoky hints and Say Cheese. And Wine. And Raclette. It's Wine & Cheese Night at Old Swiss Inn on their regular themed offerings at the restaurant).


Once you open the Swiss Cheese Fondue Kit by Fearless Apron, you're on your way in recreating that unique restaurant experience in your own home. To get you started, you'll need one mixing bowl, a pair of scissors for cutting the assorted vacuum-sealed packets, a heavy-bottomed saucepan or an enamel-coated Dutch Oven (or you can use any saucepan or pot from your kitchen), a wooden spoon or heat-proof silicone spatula, a chopping board, one kitchen knife and toaster for the bread cubes. Start by pouring the white cooking wine on a pot and let it simmer. Smash the garlic and add to your pot. Once you have a steady boil, add the cheese blend to the pot. And this is where it gets tricky. You need to constantly stir the pot to avoid burning the cheese until it melts and reaches the desired consistency. Pop the bread cubes in the toaster or oven for that crunchy texture while keeping a close eye on the pot of cheese. Add the spice mix of pepper, garlic powder and cornstarch and continue to stir. Once satisfied with the consistency of the cheese, remove the pot and serve on the table but don't forget the trivet. No sweat, right? And don't worry, you got Fearless Apron behind you.


Pull out the bread cubes from the toaster and serve alongside the pot of cheese. Drizzle the finishing spice mix of paprika on the pot of cheese and it's game on. If you don't have a cheese fondue set at home, no worries. You'll need to be creative and improvise. And that's all part of the fun.


A pair of slender wooden chopsticks come in handy to poke the bread cubes and swirl around the pot of melted cheese. Fondue purists may not approve, but it's all about the moment and these chopsticks will have to do.


Grab a piece of bread with your chopstick...


...and swirl it around the pot of cheese. This is where the fun begins with your fondue at home. Losing a piece of bread in the pot of cheese brings some interesting topics to the table, as tradition dictates that whoever loses bread will have to sing a song. That's better than buying a round of drinks or running naked in the snow if you follow the interesting stories built around the fondue.


After a few more tries, you get the hang of it...


...delicately twirling each strand of cheese around the bread for another cheesy burst of flavors. It's the authentic flavors of Old Swiss Inn, recreated in your own home. The creamy richness of the cheese drapes the palate with bold and indulgent flavors accompanied by lively conversations at the table. The communal pot of cheese brings the family closer, warming both the palate and home. These flavors as well as the mood and experience are easily recreated at home with the Swiss Cheese Fondue Kit by Old Swiss Inn. Old Swiss Inn offers more options for delivery and take-out...
