# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Zero cooking required means you can throw it together while answering emails or talking on the phone.
  • Everyone builds their own bites, so there's no arguing about what goes on the plate.
  • It's naturally flexible enough to use whatever you have on hand without feeling like you're settling.
02 -
  • Wet vegetables will slide off the board and make everything look messy, so dry them very thoroughly before assembling.
  • An overcrowded board looks generous, but an intentionally spaced board actually invites people to eat more because everything is visible and accessible.
03 -
  • Invest in one really good sharp cheddar—it makes the whole board taste more intentional.
  • If you're feeding a crowd, make the board look half-full so people feel invited to eat without guilt, then refill it as things get eaten.
