I would. Even if some alcohol remains, think about how little you'd be consuming once the cup or whatever it calls for is mixed in with the other ingredients,

I would say yes. The alcohol burns off and its just there for flavor.

I just researched this yesterday actually because I wanted to put some tequila into refried beans I was making. What I found out was that when you cook alcohol, the alcohol content becomes LOWER but it does not completely disappear. The only time alcohol truly cooks off is when there is no liquid left, so like if you used wine in a marinade and then grilled the meat, the liquid is gone so the alcohol is gone. But as long as there is still liquid there IS still alcohol. The amount depends on how long/hot you cook it, what it is in, etc. But it seemed that for something liquid-y that you add it to and then cook for 30 min or so, the alcohol content would still be roughly 40-80% of the original alcohol content.

I opted not to use the tequila because I wasn't comfortable with it, but I think depending on how comfortable you are with consuming SOME small amount of alcohol and how much the recipe calls for-- you may be okay? It's just your comfort level.

Sounds fine to me. Yum!

I asked my doctor about pasta sauces made with wine and she said that was fine (and delicious ), and she's in the no alcohol at all camp, so I'd assume fondue would be the same principle!

I would, but I'm also in the half a glass of wine camp, so take it with a grain of salt.

Not something that would worry me, sounds delicious!

Ack, I ate fondue, no questions asked with my last two pregnancies. Then again, wine to me in small amounts isn't a huge deal while pregnant.

I did order tiramisu the other night and asked to take it back because the it was really rum heavy and I worry more about hard alcohol.

I read this thread late last night (another late night wake-up) and woke up craving fondue!!! I must have dreamt about it! I can not wait until LO can finally have some cheese/dairy.
