Editorial Reviews
"This beautiful deck of cards provides ample inspiration for the mom who lives for a good cheese board. The holidays section feels especially festive, with spreads like Charcuter-Tree and Brie Merry. If you want to take things fancy, go for the Plateau de Fromages, a lush, fancy cheese board option that'll dazzle and delight."-Food Network

If you’ve ever wanted to make Instagram worthy cheeseboards, this is what you need!! Choose a board, take the card with you to the store to snag what you need…then, just assemble it all like the picture!! Such a great tool for every host!

I am so excited for this card set! I have followed @ainttooproudtomeg for years and have L😍ved being inspired! Now it is so easy to look at the title on the top of the board, make a decision on what kind of board you want to make snd go shop with your gorgeous card and shopping list. My soon to be DIL loves my boards but never feels like she can do it…. You better believe I bought & already wrapped her present with these cards, charcuterie board and serving knives, spoons etc! Cannot wait to give this to all my people!❤️

Convenient format, straightforward instructions, really cute ideas! I made the burratta board this summer (found on the authors website) and it turned out so great I pre-ordered this deck and have been waiting eagerly for it since July!

I've been so excited to get this and even bought a few as gifts. The beautiful photographs really give you a nice look at what the board looks like. I love the fact I don't have to print anything for the ingredients. I can bring the card with me to the store and flip it over at home and put together a beautiful board. I can't wait to make something! Thank you for such a great way to enjoy great food with great company to make some great memories.

This is a great deck with great ideas and wonderful photos. However, if your a charcuterie newbie looking to get started like myself, I found the basic, charcuterie 101 tips to be lacking. I wanted to know where I could find those cute shaped dishes she uses in so many boards. Also I have no idea where to even find some of the items that I've never heard of, mainly cheeses. I was hoping for some guidance on that stuff but it's really just ingredients and photos for the most part.

As the daughter of a caterer, I learned from a very young age that people eat with their eyes.

For the recipes, note that the ingredients you will need appear in bold within them.
Take a card to the market for gathering your ingredients, then set it by your side at home as you assemble your board. Copy these boards exactly if you want, or use these food styling techniques and recommendations to build out boards of your own design.
