Sent this book along with an engraved charcuterie board to our two daughters. Picked it out of many board books because I liked the fun ideas for a family and the pictures and instructions were all very good. They both loved the book. Ironically, a friend gave me the same book for Christmas and I too enjoy it. It makes a nice, unusual addition to my cookbook collection and it also makes a nice coffee table book.

This book is great. I purchased the hard covered book, which is full of detailed, bright pictures and ideas for boards I hadn’t thought of before. In addition to the typical meats and cheese boards there are holiday, birthday party and many other themes. The step by step instructions are easy to follow, and there are several recipes at the back of the book. I have purchased a book for not only myself but one for each of my daughters as well. This book is definitely worth the cost to buy, which I think is very reasonably priced.

I actually gave this as a gift, but I threw a birthday party and was able to use it as a reference. The book is great quality. Pictures are beautiful. Great explanation of what’s on the boards.

Purchased as a gift and ended up getting one for myself. Some great board inspiration from breakfast to sweet treats and easy to follow instructions. Would be a perfect addition to a house warming or shower basket, add the board, utensils and even some of the fixings. Would purchase again as a gift for someone
