Host any size event with ease, whether it’s a big holiday gathering or a picnic for two, with this fun, flexible cookbook featuring 100 recipes from charcuterie board guru Sandy Coughlin (@reluctantentertainer).

As the original Big Board influencer, Sandy Coughlin reimagined the charcuterie board as a stunning surface for special occasion spreads, family get-togethers, delicious desserts, and more. Now, she expands her repertoire with individual recipes for any occasion, large or small, indoors or out.

Organized by season and size of gathering and including gluten-free, dairy-free, and plant-based options for customizable convenience, Reluctant Entertainer’s Big Boards and More will  spark your culinary imagination with the endless possibilities of boards.

A lovely recipe book filled with dishes that would be brilliant on their own or adorning a charcuterie board. Beautiful pictures demonstrate ways in which to lay out items to make them look really appealing. I loved how there were lots of different recipes standing alone and then when a board theme is suggested, the recommended dishes had their recipes referred back to with page numbers so you could locate them easily.

The recipes/boards were organised thoughtfully into seasonal opportunities and based on where you might be gathering with friends. The recipes read well, are formatted spaciously and don't feel daunting. There was a great mix of savoury vs sweet and ones appropriate for different ages.

It's given me lots of ideas for an upcoming event and I will be looking to purchase this in hard copy once published.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for gifting me this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
