Gloria - I wouldn't be worried about using alcohol to cook with if you have underage eaters - it cooks off and all you have is the light flavour.

Try this fondue with Jarlsberg cheese, it's nice and nutty, and packs great flavour on its own in a fondue.
We also like to serve with grilled chicken and sausage. The choices are great.
If there's leftover fondue, use it as a cheese sauce over vegetables during the week.
