Vegan Fondue (is that even possible) the last recipe review of the book ' My New Roots'

For those who follow my blog posts you will remember last year I started a recipe review on Sarah Britons book ' My New Roots'. A month or so back the realisation that I had left that project unfinished hit me and then in the last foundation module  of The Vegan Chef and Lifestyle Training, two of the students decided to make a recipe from 'My New Roots'.

A recipe I had skimmed past many times actually never feeling attracted to it. When anyone mentions fondue to me I get these memories of my elation at seeing so much cheese in one pot and then feeling the nausea all through the night after eating it. So admittedly Sarah's recipe was one I thought I would never try. I think she would have been best to call it a warm vegetable dipping pot, as once the students made it along with the incredibly well cooked and delicious veggie dippers I was in heaven.

They used vegetables that were in season and this was a recipe that I just had to make the very next night after they had made it. This dish will be a delight for any dinner party. So thank you Sarah Briton for the inspiration and Christine and Michael who had the idea to recreate this recipe in the April foundation module of The Vegan Chef and Lifestyle Training. I have a fabulous new book to review now which excites me no end. Keep a look out for my next blog posts.
