What a deliciously gorgeous book. Who doesn't love boards filled with yummies for any meal of the day?! I just loved the suggestions for breakfast boards and seasonal boards. Dee-lish!
I can't wait to try the taco board with chipotle-spiced shrimp with alllll of the toppings. Just about every board and recipe comes with beautiful illustrations and ideas with garnishes. Just a delightful charcuterie cookbook all around.

Thank you to NetGalley, Clarkson Potter/ Ten Speed Press and Yasmin Fahr for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

What I love most about this book are the recipes and ideas. How many times have I looked for new ways to up my board game and still come up short? I needed some inspiration and Social Media can only take me so far…I needed these recipes too! I’m already thinking up new themes with these recipes and can’t wait for our next game night with friends to share some new things.

This one captivated me since it's more like for if you're thinking on maybe have people over and such, but it can actually side as a want to do something different for a reunion with the family or just on the house like serving breakfast in a cool way, totally going to use it for this when I want to share something and want it to look as good as possible so we can all enjoy it and have fun with these boards.

What a terrific book this is! I love the idea of serving guests from a board for casual game day get togehers, but am lacking in imagination. Boards and Spreads is full if fun ideas.

Who doesn’t LOVE to graze from a charcuterie board?! This cookbook is beautifully photographed and contains so many fresh ideas to serve up fun meals on boards, platters and trays. From breakfast boards to main dish chicken or salmon boards, there’s something here to inspire everyone! Available to purchase on August 23, 2022.

This cookbook is so fun. There is a great variety of recipes and awesome tips for hosting parties. I also love the introduction and being able to learn more about the author. I've never seen/heard of a breakfast board, so that is so fun! The pictures are also fantastic. I cannot wait to purchase this one!

I love a good board!! This book has a lot of new and different ideas. It has good pictures, descriptions and how-tos. I cannot wait to try the pancake board and the slider board. Everything looks so good and I love that it takes the planning out of doing boards.

This book is on trend with the charcuterie board trend, which I love. The recipes in this book vary away from the traditional boards into some more creative pretty ones. Admitted some didn't need to be boardified, but the visual is nice. The recipe combinations could be great dinner entree combinations.

This is a great tool to use when making boards and spreads. There are so many different options out there and this breaks it down a lot. So helpful.

Pros: With charcuterie boards being all the go, I got many ideas from this book for what to serve when I next host book club or for when I have friends and family over for holidays. My favorite thing about this book is how it includes foods from around the world. It also includes many vegetarian options, and I appreciate cookbooks that consider many eating preferences. The photographs in this book are both inspiring and incredibly helpful for people like me who have a hard time knowing how to arrange things on the board—I might not be able to come up with the idea on my own, but I can follow a photo as a guide.

Cons: None that I can think of . . . except I do suggest having something to snack on while reading!

Thank you to NetGalley and Clarkson Potter/Ten Speed Press for the opportunity to read this book.
