Cheese Fondue
These are the classic fondue ingredients.  Recipe from  Gourmet Magazine, 1966.

Servings: About 6

I N G R E D I E N T S
1 garlic clove, halved crosswise
 1 1/2 cups dry white wine (preferably Swiss, such as
Fendant)
 1 tablespoon cornstarch
 2 teaspoons
kirsch
 1/2 lb
Emmental cheese, coarsely grated (2 cups)
 1/2 lb
Gruyère , coarsely grated (2 cups)

I N S T R U C T I O N S
Accompaniment: cubes of French bread on fondue forks or long wooden skewers
Special equipment: a fondue pot

Rub inside of a 4-quart heavy pot with cut sides of garlic, then discard garlic. Add wine to pot and bring just to a simmer over moderate heat.

Stir together cornstarch and kirsch in a cup.

Gradually add cheese to pot and cook, stirring constantly in a zigzag pattern (not a circular motion) to prevent cheese from balling up, until cheese is just melted and creamy (do not let boil). Stir cornstarch mixture again and stir into fondue. Bring fondue to a simmer and cook, stirring, until thickened, 5 to 8 minutes.

Transfer to fondue pot set over a flame and serve with bread for dipping.
