That Cheese Plate Will Change Your Life
My friend Marissa Mullen is the author of this cute, small book, and I’m so proud of her. We haven’t met in real life, but I know one day we will :)
Marissa’s book is a how-to guide for crafting beautiful and delicious cheese boards. It’s filled with gorgeous photos, so you can visually see how doable each board or plate is to make!
She’s also the creator of the “Cheese by Numbers” method. This is super helpful, especially for cheese board lovers who are beginners.
Abby recently went on a picnic and grabbed a quick idea here, and made her “Picnic to Go Plate.” So cute!
And delicious!
Fresh, seasonal ingredients. And of course, you can double or triple the size, according to the number of guests you are feeding!
For a cheese board, start with basic components—meat, cheese, produce, dip, and a garnish!
I also love how she uses flower arranging with food in the book!
Buy the book!
That Cheese Plate Will Change Your Life celebrates the ways in which cheese brings people together! It’s also a great gift idea!

What a fun idea. We were supposed to have friends over last weekend and I was contemplating doing a “board” but we had to cancel because of the smoke. So bummed
