Create a Fondue Conversation Pit

Once you've chosen your country of choice, keep in mind that like the circular Fondue Pot, you can create a conversation pit/circle in your home by simply setting up your serving tables likewise.

• If you have a fireplace, use it. The warmth of the hearth will buttress the coziness of the cooler season.

• Leave the chairs behind and place large pillows around the fondue table. Encourage your guests to remove their shoes, which puts them in a relaxed mood and takes off a certain social, hierarchical edge as well.
