Being a quintessential Swiss dish, cheese fondue conjures up images for me of alpine ski huts, deep snow and 20°F weather. Well, we don’t get much snow or cold weather in the California central valley, but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy a good fondue party.

This easy prawn recipe is absolutely delicious – the smell while it’s cooking will get your tastebuds going.

The tomato sauce base is very useful – you can use it with any mixture of seafood or fish you like as a pasta sauce.

I like to serve this with some garlic bread – see the tip below for quick garlic bread without switching on the oven.
