The Board: Charcuterie, Graze Boxes & Food Boards · Print Edition

Abundance, edited.

The Board: Charcuterie, Graze Boxes & Food Boards for Every Occasion is a large-format, full-color guide to the most generous thing you can put on a table: what to buy, how much, how to cut it and the order to build it in, so every board looks chosen, not crowded.

Inside the book:

• The seven-move method: one build order behind every board, so the boards you invent yourself work too.
• 28 boards for every gathering: the House Board, a butter board, date night for two, Italian antipasto, Mediterranean mezze, a dessert board, a s'mores board, the holiday wreath, jarcuterie cups and a grazing table for fifty, plus vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free boards.
• 10 graze boxes built to travel, with sizes, packaging, the four-layer build and an allergen card.
• A cheese guide that finally explains the cut, and the salami rose plus seven more folds, step by step.
• 25 house-made recipes: fig and black pepper jam, quick hot honey, pink pickled shallots, rosemary-maple pecans, whipped feta, Parmesan frico and more.
• Plan it: how-much charts for 2 to 50 guests, a prep timeline and seasonal boards for the whole year.

At 8.5 x 11 inches and 242 pages, it is made to be used and displayed: full-bleed photographs, generous type and a calm, modern design.
