Boards, Platters, Plates: Recipes for Entertaining, Sharing, and Snacking

Zizka, Maria

More than 30 platters and boards for every occasion—from a casual lunch to a generous party offering—with recipes for individual components and information on how to build the perfect spread.

Casual, Vibrant, Delicious

Choose from a dazzling collection of thirty beautiful, well-crafted boards, whether you’re serving a group of two or ten. Try Catalonian Summer with romesco, charred green onions, anchovy toasts, and Manchego for an intimate outdoor gathering. Make a dinner of the Korean BBQ platter with bulgogi-style beef, lettuce cups, gochujang dipping sauce, and kimchi. Or go straight for the sweets with a dessert like S’mores Without a Campfire. Plus, check out the party-size boards for your next holiday or celebration.

Start with the four principles for creating the right board for any occasion:

1. Looks matter
2. Stay flexible
3. Make it fun to eat
4. Embrace store-bought components

You’ll find that every meal becomes one worth sharing.
