Gaze into your loved one’s eyes over pots of oozing, flavourful cheese, or feed each other warm chocolate-covered strawberries as you whisper sweet nothings. This Valentine’s Day, set up a romantic dinner for two with a delicious fondue.

If you are not using a traditional fondue set, make sure your broth or sauce servingware is flameproof before placing over burner or tealight candles.
