Hello! My friends and I have been having fondue parties and I have been unable to find recipies for non-dairy dips. I am sure something can be made using a tofu base... anyone have a good recipe? Chocolate or cheese?

for the person who wanted a fondue recipe: Andrea Batres Chacon sent in this recipe for "Cheeze" which she got from the Farm Vegetarian Cookbook. I've used this for nachos, Macaroni and "cheese", with sliced potatoes... possibilities are endless, including fondue! 1/2 cup nutritional yeast flakes 1/2 cup flour 1 tsp salt (I omit this) 1/2 tsp garlic powder 2 cups water 1 tsp wet mustard (I use a spicy dijon) 1/4 cup oil or margarine (I use a spoonful of reduced fat margarine; Andrea said she's made it without any and it's still good)
mix dry ingredients in saucepan. Whisk in water. Cook over medium heat, whisking it until it thickends and bubbles. Cook 30 seconds, then remove from heat and add mustard and margarine, if using.

TOFU TOMATO FONDUE
2/3 C. (158 ml) finely minced onions 1 lb. (453 g) fresh tomatoes, diced 1 T. extra virgin olive oil
1 12-oz. (340 g) pkg. soft silken tofu 1/4 C. + 2 T. (89 ml) unsweetened soymilk 3 T. nutritional yeast flakes 1 t. salt
2 T. cornstarch 2 T. water
Combine onions, tomatoes, and olive oil in a 2-quart (2 liter) saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until soft and broken down. Add tofu, soymilk, nutritional yeast, and salt and stir with a wire whip to make a smooth fondue. Combine cornstarch and water in a small cup and stir until smooth. Add to bubbling fondue a little at a time until thickened to desired consistency. Serve some of the fondue in small bowls and keep the remainder warm over low heat. Makes 4 servings. Prepare a platter of raw finger vegetables along with lightly steamed vegetables to dip into the fondue. To round out the meal, serve with salad and cooked grains such as brown rice, barley, or quinoa.

Beyond chocolate or cheese...if you're willing to deal with raw foods, you could try chicken or even vegetable broth in the fondue pot and raw shrimp and pieces of raw chicken and raw vegies (like mushrooms and potatoes) for dipping--they just need to be dipped until they're cooked through, and with shrimp and chicken it's pretty easy to tell, 'cause they turn opaque and firm. I've eaten at The Melting Pot, a very fancy fondue restaurant, twice, and one of the courses is meats and vegies to dip in broth. Also, the restaurant serves a variety of dipping sauces--you could get creative and set out horseradish for the potatoes, honey-mustard for the chicken, etc.
