Platter assortments are trendy right now, not to mention perfectly designed for a fondue dinner, so here are our top five options to go with our 1001 Fondues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"table-of-contents\"><strong>Table of Contents<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#1-bread-the-classic-for-a-reason\">1. Bread: the classic for a reason<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#2-vegetables-a-perfect-pair\">2. Vegetables: a perfect pair<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#3-fruit-flavourful-and-colourful\">3.

Grilled meat and cold cuts<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-bread-the-classic-for-a-reason\">1. <strong>Bread: the classic for a reason<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you say fondue, our first thought is bread. Bread has been part of fondue since the beginning, no matter how many centuries back you go. We suggest a platter of assorted breads, for an even greater variety of flavours. Our favourite options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Nut bread<\/li><li>Olive bread<\/li><li>Cranberry bread<\/li><li>Date bread<\/li><li>Naan<\/li><li>Homemade bread<\/li><li>Multigrain bread<\/li><li>Crusty bread<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2026Plus some seasoned crackers<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">*Suggestion: For some delicious contrast, try adding some local jellies to the platter, like cranberry, haskap berry, crabapple or raspberry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-vegetables-a-perfect-pair\">2. <strong>Vegetables: a perfect pair<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Raw, al dente, lightly blanched or grilled\u2014however you slice it, veggies are fantastic in fondue! Arrange them on the platter and then either dip them in the pot, or drizzle a generous helping of fondue on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re a spice lover, pick your favourite (cayenne pepper, chili, cumin, etc.) and sprinkle it over the veggies. You\u2019ll love how it flavours the fondue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Green veggies<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Broccoli (crunchy or lightly blanched)<\/li><li>Zucchini (crunchy or lightly blanched)<\/li><li>Asparagus (al dente)<\/li><li>Brussels sprouts (blanched)<\/li><li>Pickles<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Right into the pot<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Tomatoes (fresh, sun-dried or cherry tomatoes)<\/li><li>Olives<\/li><li>Leeks (chopped)<\/li><li>Wild mushrooms (chanterelle, porcini)<\/li><li>Spinach (cooked)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even more veggies<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Button or portobello mushrooms (lightly grilled or raw)<\/li><li>Cauliflower (crunchy or lightly blanched)<\/li><li>Baby potatoes (al dente)<\/li><li>Peppers (lightly grilled or raw)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-fruit-flavourful-and-colourful\">3. <strong>Fruit: flavourful and colourful<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes sweet, sometimes tart, fruit is fabulous with cheese fondue. You have lots of presentation options: arrange the fruit in small clusters on the plate, make fruit skewers or drizzle fondue over top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Apples<\/li><li>Pears<\/li><li>Grapes<\/li><li>Pineapple<\/li><li>Dried fruit (figs, dates, apricots, cranberries, etc.)<\/li><li>Citrus (nectarines, oranges, clementines, etc.)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-seafood\">4. <strong>Seafood<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019ve never tasted cheese fondue with seafood, you\u2019ve absolutely got to try it. And what\u2019s better than a platter of delectable seafood?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Shrimp<\/li><li>Smoked fish (salmon, trout, mackerel, salmon jerky, etc.)<\/li><li>Scallops<\/li><li>Oysters<\/li><li>Squid (grilled)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">*Make sure to prepare your seafood as you usually would before you put it on the plate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-grilled-meat-and-cold-cuts\">5. <strong>Grilled meat and cold cuts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meat lovers will adore it with cheese fondue. The possibilities are endless! But we\u2019ve made a small selection of our favourites for you anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cold cuts<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Cubes of ham<\/li><li>Viande des Grisons \/ B\u00fcndnerfleisch (dried beef)<\/li><li>Prosciutto<\/li><li>Mortadella<\/li><li>Smoked turkey<\/li><li>Capicollo<\/li><li>Smoked and dried duck<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Grilled meat<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Sausages (fantastic when BBQed!)<\/li><li>Chicken<\/li><li>Fondue meat<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For extra deliciousness, serve up more than one of these platters\u2014or all of them!

Dans cet \u00e9tablissement mythique, elle apprend tr\u00e8s t\u00f4t la rigueur, la cr\u00e9ativit\u00e9 et l\u2019\u00e9coute \u2014 des valeurs qui deviendront le fil conducteur de son parcours. Apr\u00e8s plus de vingt ans d\u2019activit\u00e9 et de recherche autour de la fondue, ponctu\u00e9s de voyages en Suisse, la famille Lapointe ouvre un nouveau chapitre en 2003 avec l\u2019achat du restaurant La Grolla. Puis, en 2007, Caroline s\u2019engage dans un projet audacieux : concevoir, fabriquer et mettre en march\u00e9 des fondues au fromage artisanales pr\u00eates \u00e0 cuire, ancr\u00e9es dans le terroir qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois. Ainsi na\u00eet 1001 Fondues. Se r\u00e9inventer n\u2019a jamais rien de simple, mais Caroline rel\u00e8ve le d\u00e9fi avec pers\u00e9v\u00e9rance. Visionnaire, elle est notamment \u00e0 l\u2019origine du c\u00e9l\u00e8bre pain Hot Fondue du March\u00e9 allemand de Qu\u00e9bec. Aujourd\u2019hui, Caroline mise sur la valorisation d\u2019un terroir unique et poursuit une ambition claire : faire rayonner une fondue d\u2019ici, originale et authentique. Multidisciplinaire, passionn\u00e9e de philosophie, de litt\u00e9rature fran\u00e7aise, de cuisine locale et internationale, d\u2019innovation, de course en plein air, elle partage un d\u00e9nominateur commun avec 1001 Fondues : aller o\u00f9 l\u2019on ne va pas.
