Several months ago, my aunt Suzette surprised me with this Cheese Board Deck. It took me awhile, but I am finally delving into the 50 charcuterie choices that it contains! For some reason pulling a card out of a deck feels more adventurous and interesting than just looking up an idea in a cookbook. This set of cards has so many great suggestions, and I love how the back of each card has ingredient lists, ideas for substitutions, and simple recipes. The emphasis is on elevating store bought things in unexpected ways. Here's a look at the first two cards I used to create a dinner board for the two of us.
The first card features Mediterranean foods - feta, chicken skewers, hummus and more.
My creation had: fruits and veggies, olives, hummus, feta, naan dippers from Sam's, a leftover hard boiled egg, chicken skewers from Costco, and a homemade tzatziki dip.
Michael picked out the next card. This featured pretzels as a serving plate for individual charcuteries.
I used the ideas from the card, but didn't put the items on the pretzels. My creation had assorted cheeses, nuts, grapes, apples, leftover chicken salad, Allouete cheese spread, salami, and pretzels.
I am enjoying this unique spin on a cookbook and look forward to trying many new charcuterie boards in the coming weeks. This would also make a great gift to a foodie or hostess!
Have a wonderful weekend!
What a fun idea!!
