Create stunning cheese boards and festive snack spreads with this elegantly packaged deck of seasonally inspired food platters.

No one can resist a cheese board, especially if it’s seasonally focused and styled to perfection. Get inspired with this deck of 54 beautiful boards and recipes that creatively showcase the flavors and festivities of each season. You’ll find sweet and savory ideas for holidays, game days, special occasions, and everyday get togethers. From a fresh Garden Party Brunch Board for spring to a bountiful Friendsgiving Board for fall, there’s something for every occasion of the year. Go beyond cheese and charcuterie and get the whole family involved to assemble a S’mores Dessert Board or Movie Night Board.

Each of the 44 board cards features a beautifully styled platter for inspiration. Flip the card over, and you’ll find an annotated photograph making it easy to “assemble by number,” along with a complete list of the ingredients you’ll need to replicate the board at home. The deck also includes 10 recipe cards for easy-to-make apps and condiments to add homemade touches to your boards.

Whether you’re looking for a clever housewarming or shower gift or seeking to elevate your at-home entertaining, this deck is the perfect choice.

Go beyond cheese with 65 recipes for delicious boards and epic spreads, whether you’re in the mood for a girl dinner or appetizers, breakfast, snacks, and more.

In Boards & Spreads, you won’t find cheese boards--instead, you’ll find simple ideas and scrumptious recipes for a variety of meals and snacks to share on platters or boards. From the Top-Your-Own Chili Board to the Crispy Chicken Bites Spread, and from the Charred Salad Platter to the Egg Pita Sandwich Board, you’ll find something for every meal and mood. Even drinks can be served in this fun fashion, whether it's a Bloody Mary Bar at brunch or low-ABV cocktails at an afternoon picnic. There are also plenty of quick recipes for dips, spreads, and other tempting add-ons you'll turn to time and again, like Smashed Olives, Quick-Pickled Shallots and Jalapenos, and Two-Minute Feta Dip.

Whether you’re looking for a snackable spread for two, a grazing board to share when friends come over, or simply looking for easy-to-make recipes you can throw together on a whim, Boards & Spreads shows you how to turn everyday ingredients into festive, low-effort meals.
