"Kim and her husband recommend adding to the recipe 1/4 teaspoon Mirador seasoning. This is a Swiss spice blend that is particularly hard to find here in the United States (I could not find it where I live). As a replacement, they suggest subbing in Knorr Aromat Seasoning. I chose to leave this out simply due to the MSG (which may not be an issue for you) and the fondue was still fabulous. Also, don't use pre-shredded cheese. It has a very different consistency than what you grate yourself - worth the tiny bit of extra work, I promise!..."
