Let's get cooking! Its all about the platter. It is worth the investment in a good quality wooden board. I love a round board like my one in the photo.

I always start with small white bowls to serve the dips. Then I slice the bread and lay it diagonally across the board.

Then its time to layer and create! Start to place your cheeses on the board. My tip is to sliced them for ease of serving on a cracker. Then layer your meats and roasted vegetables.

Fill the gaps with your dried and fresh fruit, along with the crackers. Dont over think! Just play! I love to add fresh greenery from the garden along with fresh flowers.
