Great ideas for boards!! The book includes ideas for breakfast, snacks, or full on meals! Such a unique idea, and a great way to include everyone in a meal.

I received a copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This book is around 3.5 stars for me.
The recipes are interesting and the pictures are beautiful! I love the noshing board trend and liked the variety in this book. Some of the boards aren't super practical - nachos for example or even the sloppy joes, but they do look nice. There's recipes for different boards for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks that include arranging store bought food or including information on how to make some components.
Overall an interesting find!

We may have reached peak food board. While these spreads are gorgeous and definitely appetizing, I'm not sure some of them need to be boards. For example, the Sheet Pan Pizza looks, to me, to be a pan of pizza placed on a board and surrounded by tossed salad. I'd absolutely dig in, but did it really have to be a board?
That quibble aside, this is certainly a stunning and inspiring book. Each board is beautifully photographed and looks lush and abundant. I would be thrilled to walk into a gathering and see any of these. The author also makes a wonderful case for why food boards are useful entertaining tools--they reinforce the social bond of breaking bread and center togetherness as the main benefit.
This would make a great gift for anyone who likes to entertain and often feeds a crowd!
Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review!
