Boards, Platters, Plates: recipes for entertaining, sharing, and snacking

by Zizka, Maria

Summary 

Any occasion needs a snack spread. Whether it's a gathering with a few friends for a casual dinner or hosting a crowd for the holidays, "Boards, Platters, Plates" will help readers create the perfect platter for every occasion with recipes that can be incorporated into any meal. 

The possibilities go far beyond the classic cheese and charcuterie boards (though those are here, too!), featuring creations like a Lebanese Lunch board complete with hummus and muhammara, a Scandinavian board with smoked salmon and rösti, and a Korean BBQ board including kimchi and beef lettuce wraps, all with recipes that highlight contemporary flavors and trending ingredients. Think jammy eggs, labneh, nori, and gochujang sauce.

"Boards, Platters, Plates" is a fresh take on a classic way to entertain, share, and snack. Thematically organized, it includes boards that act as starters to a meal, veggie-focused boards, and platters for daytime gatherings, sophisticated parties, and even desserts. 

Maria Zizka, author of The Newlywed Table, teaches readers how to construct the most beautiful spreads, provides tips on selecting the best store-bought pairings, such as crackers or fruits and veggies, and provides helpful information on each component created from scratch. 

The recipes are expertly curated for the book-from the Apertivo to the S'mores dessert spread-and can be mixed and matched so readers can create their own bountiful boards. Boards, Platters, Plates offers endless possibilities but guarantees each spread is beautiful, delicious, and made for sharing."
