We were both feeling a bit lazy in our daytime sweatpants, and didn’t want to eat out but also didn’t want to cook—quite the modern predicament. A “fun spread” was our answer. A meal for which we could simply buy a bunch of things, doctor them up with a few fresh ingredients and pantry staples to make them feel a bit more homemade, and arrange everything together on a pretty board or platter so that we could nibble, snack, and chat without exerting too much effort or thought for our meal.I’m a big fan of this style of dining, as I have a “minimal effort, maximum flavor” approach to cooking. I love food that tastes good and making delicious meals, but I don’t want to leave the kitchen feeling exhausted afterward, or do a ton of dishes, especially when I have people over.If that makes you go, “me too!,” then welcome to your new favorite book. This low-effort, high-reward cooking approach is also applied to serving those wonderful recipes. Here, you’ll find vibrant and flavorful, low-maintenance food spread out on boards or platters for the sake of simplicity and ease. It’s a more convenient and casual way to eat, and it looks beautiful, too. While I love a good cheese and charcuterie spread, boards don’t need to be relegated to snacks and dips for daytime hangouts or cocktail hour (though you’ll find plenty of those here, too), as they work for any meal, any time of day—whether you’re gathering around the table for dinner, serving food for a crowd, or planning an outdoor get-together.You don’t need a lot of kitchen skills or experience to make these recipes, as the board-style approach is meant to be low-stress and more about enjoying time with friends and family over a gorgeous (and highly tasty) spread of food than anything else. While everything here is simple to prepare, you’ll find that the flavor combinations, colorful food, and serving suggestions make it look and taste anything but simple.This book is built for flexibility, and you are in charge of how small or large the spread becomes—each key recipe (i.e., the main thing you’re preparing for a given board) can be eaten with as many or as few of the accompaniments, condiments, and suggested
