Reviews

"Charcuterie boards are always in vogue, but [The Art of the Board] puts the wow factor into these edible arrangements.
There're an impressive amount of tips and recipes for boards that engage the senses and meet a range of budgets. The advice on food styling, garnishes, types of cheeses, tableware, and food board gift-giving is helpful, while tips for how to fold meats and cheeses like a pro will have friends asking for the name of your caterer."--Rachel Jagareski "Foreword Reviews" (10/1/2022 12:00:00 AM)
"As the first to offer an 'ultimate' guide to creating these boards, Carney goes beyond the expected.... Added value lies in Carney's "hopeless hostess" tips and
tricks ... and a wine pairing guide. A new kind of board game."--Barbara Jacobs "Booklist" (10/1/2022 12:00:00 AM)
