Hi ladies,

Do you know where to but raclette cheese in Dubai? And what place do you recommend to buy a good raclette machine and fondue set (that can be used both for meat and cheese fondue)?

And a touch of lemon juice, non? Thing is, it feels so wrong in the Dubai desert, it only works at the top of a snowy mountain for me! And if you cranked up the A/C and scattered soap flakes all over the place? (Although judging from your other thread you need to find a cleaning service first ;))

Fondue : use 1/3 of Beaufort, 1/3 of Comte, 1/3 of Gruyere or Emmental ... or the Swiss way- "moitié-moitié" (half-and-half) Gruyère and Vacherin! (and a little cornstarch to thicken... maybe a shot of kirsch if you have a license... ) ;) And a touch of lemon juice, non?

Has anyone got one of those raclette machines where you put half a wheel of cheese over the heat and scrape the melted cheese off onto your plate? Could you buy half a wheel of raclette here, anyway?!

LOVE raclette and fondue. Have been looking for a long time for the grill here in Dubai, only found one at Tavola in Jumeirah, and it was too big. I got one the last time we were home in Europe. If I still needed one, and wasn't about to travel, I would buy it online, then I would have more to choose from. The raclette cheese I buy in Lulu Barsha or Carrefour.

Ladies, I'm from the French Alps so raclette and fondue , I was born with ! 2 very different dishes Fondue : use 1/3 of Beaufort, 1/3 of Comte, 1/3 of Gruyere or Emmental rub the pan with garlic. Add white wine (dry preferably) 1/2 way up. Heat up the wine to nearly boiling and add slowly the shredded cheese whilst turning with a wooden spoon. Keep adding everytime the cheese is melted. Then put on the burner and enjoy. Best is to get the baguette bread the day before, it wont hold on the stick if it's too fresh. Raclette : buy Raclette (Carrefour always has it), ham, prosciutto and patatoes cut the raclette (or have it cut) the size of the little raclette dish. Boil the patatoes. Put a piece of raclette cheese in the little dish and grill until well melted and turning brown (well that's how i like it!), pour over a piece of patatoe. LOVE IT !

You can find Raclette cheese in Carrefour & can also opt for Beaufort and Comte (I always take all three as they taste slightly different and are delicious).1 Blasphemy!!!!!!

I'm not sure how easy it is to find Bodum products in Dubai but they have a pan that works for meat and cheese fondues. This is what we use and it works great. As for the cheese I've seen raclette cheese in Carrefour and Choitrams.

You can usually find French raclette cheese at Waitrose, and often at Carrefour as well, but like all things in Dubai you never know when it will be available. They sell Alessi metal fondue sets at Tavola, but they are quite expensive and the metal ones are really for meat, for cheese you ought to have the pottery pans, though I suppose you could always buy one fondue set and then just have an extra pan. I haven't seen a cheese fondue set or a raclette machine anywhere but I haven't been looking either, you might try Carrefour or Géant, they sell most everything :-)
