# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Everything tastes better when you arrange it prettily and call it a board instead of leftovers.
  • You can build it in pajamas with whatever's already in your fridge and still feel like you're treating yourself.
  • It's the kind of meal that doesn't need a fork or a recipe, just your hands and your appetite.
02 -
  • Cold cheese tastes like nothing, pull it out of the fridge at least twenty minutes before you start building.
  • If you slice the apple too early it'll turn brown and look sad, do it last or squeeze lemon on it.
  • Don't stress about symmetry, the best boards look a little wild and lived in, not like a magazine spread.
03 -
  • Add something unexpected like dark chocolate, dried apricots, or a small jar of grainy mustard to surprise yourself.
  • If you're assembling this ahead, leave the crackers and herbs off until right before serving so they stay crisp and fresh.
  • The best boards have odd numbers of things, three cheeses, five types of accompaniments, it just looks more natural that way.
