Boards: Stylish Spreads for Casual Gatherings

America’s Test Kitchen does it again. This time with the expert help of Elle Simone Scott. This book is one that will be used for generations to come. Boards are a fun way to be creative with food and drink and the possibilities are endless. Boards gives all the information needed to create your own boards. From how to choose your boards to themes and styling the food on the boards, this book has it all. It has instruction on how to cut different cheeses, make roses out of deli meat, recipes for spreads, drinks, desserts, and so much more.

I found so many boards I wanted to try. The granola board looked delicious with granola bark, yogurt, compote, fig jam, and fresh fruit. The Afternoon Tea and Taco Bar boards also looked amazing. For baseball fans, the ballpark board with hotdogs, pretzels, and Cracker Jack is a winner.

This book has so many recipes that are family friendly but also includes recipes for adult cocktails (Bloody Mary or Martini, anyone?). You can have a whole party with all different boards for people to munch on and sample. This book is an excellent idea for anyone who enjoys simple recipes that will display beautifully,
