Take the clove of garlic and rub it in the pot nicely and remove the pieces of garlic. I grated some garlic, as I wanted to have more flavor. Grate it very finely, though. Add the white wine or cream and heat it up a steaming and gradually add the shredded cheese to it, add more only once it is completed melted and add the seasonings. Whisk it vigorously in one direction and add the lemon juice as well. The heat should be very slow to avoid breaking the cheese.

Once the cheese has melted, mix cornstarch into water and then add the mixture to cheese and mix it well. Once it looks thickened, simply remove it from the stove and place it over the fondue pot over a flame to keep it warm and melted. Add some grated nutmeg, taste so good over cheese.

Serve it with bread cubes, I prefer baguette as it can hold well while we dip it into the cheese. Also serve some fruits and vegetables like bell peppers, potatoes, onions, broccoli, asparagus, grapes, apples etc. of your choice.

If you want to add chili or curry flavor to your fondue you can also do that. There could be lot of variations. This recipe is the basic recipe of cheese fondue.
