History of Fondue Savoyarde<\/h4>\n

The history behind this superb, but easy to cook dish goes back to the times long before mountain ski resorts became commercially viable. The origins of Fondue Savoyarde are in Switzerland<\/a>, in the region of Fribourg. It is supposed to have been invented by shepherds, who spent long periods in the mountain pastures. They used leftover bread, cheese and a few drops of alcohol they had at the moment to cook high-energy, but economical food.<\/p>\n

Then, people living in the Alps started to cook this dish when the weather was cold. Nowadays, there is no dining place in the Savoie region that wouldn\u2019t have the Fondue Savoyarde in its menu. If you have tried it at least once, while skiing in the Alps, you may want to make one at home and enjoy it with your family and friends!<\/a><\/p>\n
