The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

Seriously, what's more romantic than silky chocolate fondue? Dipping strawberries, pretzels, marshmallows - it's foolproof. A touch of kirsch brandy is the secret ingredient you might not have expected.

8 ounces milk chocolate
1/2 cup cream
2 tablespoons kirsch
fresh fruit, cake and biscuits for serving
Grate chocolate and put into fondue pot with cream.
Stir well and heat gently, stirring until chocolate is melted. Add kirsch and blend.
Serve with fresh fruit, cake and biscuits of your choice.
Variations: Omit kirsch and substitute with 1-2 tablespoons of one of the following liqueurs: tia maria, creme de cacao or grand marnier.
If the fondue is to be served to children, omit kirsch and, if liked, add a few drops peppermint, vanilla or orange essence.
