I'd love to test Fondue Truffles. It was on my short list.

I would really love to test a fondue this week, but I just don't think I can get it done before the review deadline. (Work, work, work - always cutting into my food52 time!) Looks like Fondue Truffles and Chocolate and Ancho Chile-Bacon are left. Please, please, someone test these! They both sound sooooo good.

I was sooo running late today and delighted to find some of my favorite-sounding recipes still available! Is it kosher to test two? I'd love to try Auld Lang Syne Fondue and Peppered New England Thyme Fondue ... but will gracefully (or, not so gracefully!) acquiese (did I spell that right?) to others!!

I won't be able to test any fondue this week, but am delighted to be among the other ep candidates! This list is so interesting.Thanks for the nomination, editors. If you do test mine, wssmom, I hope you like it!

This is from your friendly editors at Food52.
How nice of you to offer! Usually we only allow one recipe per tester for the first pass, but if there are still some unclaimed ones after 24 hours, they're fair game. In this case, we'd say all three are yours if you still want them!

I would like to take the Gorgonzola Fondue please!
about 2 years ago Michelle Meeks
First time trying something, but I'll take the Michael Field's Fondue. Can't wait!

Thanks so much Michelle!! Looking forward to your feedback...the original recipe added butter, heavy cream and imported Kirsch at the end, we've done it with and without the imported Kirsch but the butter and heavy cream always seemed unnecessary, more a throwback to an earlier time...my first recipe submission so we have a lot in common!!

Thanks for the information. I hope I can find Krisch. I live in the boondocks :) I'm making this tomorrow and plan on eating it while watching the Oscars. I can't wait!
about 2 years ago Michelle Meeks
I did find the Kirsch. Can you tell me how much to add or do I have to stick with the exact recipe you submitted. No worries either way. Thanks!

Thanks for offering to test, Michelle! Since we consider this a real (i.e. fun but still serious) recipe test and use your results to determine whether a recipe should become an Editors' Pick, we ask that you follow the recipe exactly (or at least tell us what you had to change and why) and send in a review to editors@food52.com, which we'll incorporate into the recipe's headnote if it turns out well. That way, if others try it, they're more likely to have the same results are you! Here are last week's reviews if you'd like to see some examples: http://www.food52.com/blog... Feel free to email us if you have any other questions about the process.

Sounds great! I will follow it exactly as it appears. Here I go!
