Did not like a single presentation. Waste of money in terms of any inspiration for creating a platter for Christmas.

This was bought as a gift and I know the recipient has used several of the recipes and I have enjoyed quite a few when I was visiting. So even if people do 'Platters' regularly there is something new to try

We gave this book to a family member who is a millennial and very knowledgeable about food and nutrition. She loved the book as a birthday gift ! A few weeks later, she selected one recipe from the book and we bought those ingredients to her family Christmas dinner. Every generation found something to love in that recipe, including little ones ! Photos of this book and the cheese board are now in the family album. My thanks to you for a beautiful book !
