"Yes - get it. I happened to compare two charcuterie books at the same time. This was by far and away the better resource for doing boards. I like that with a few exception, it mainly was charcuterie. It wasn't just prettily presented food. I think there is a science behind charcuterie. I loved the different seasonal boards and each one fulfilled that basic definition of what charcuterie is. I received an ARC from Netgalley to help me prepare my honest review."

Inspiring
"I am SO inspired by these artful, colorful creations! I enjoy creating simple boards for family and friends, but this book provides the inspiration to step up my game. I love that the boards are broken out into seasons with lists of common ingredients best found/used for that season. Each board has a picture and a brief description, but the most useful tool for me is how to build the board, step by step. Each ingredient is given a number and the picture shows the corresponding number…you cannot mess this up! For non-creatives like me, this is exactly the type of tool to get me started. Desserts, appetizers, main meals, parties and holidays are all covered. There is even a helpful discussion on which beverages best compliment the board and the ingredients chosen. Cheeses and meats are explained as well as how to pair and style. The photos are just as inspiring as the dish being served. Emily Delaney’s Around the Board is an incredibly useful book in any kitchen that enjoys creating colorful, expressive, and tasteful food boards.
