Book excerpt: “Stylish and simple ways you can create and artfully arrange bite-size delicacies, to twist a mid-week meal into a dinner party hit” (The Plus). Delicious recipes and creative presentations served up on a board. Cutting boards aren’t just for prep anymore. From classic charcuterie boards with prosciutto, olives, and roasted figs to luscious dessert boards with mini cheesecakes and red-wine ice-cream bites, food stylist Anni Daulter shows creative hosts how to make the most of their boards and serving platters. With rustic, trendy, pickled, and even culturally inspired boards and recipes, the last thing you’ll want to do when you’re finished cooking is put away the cutting board. Globally inspired, these culinary creations satisfy homespun cravings, awaken the sweet tooth, and even flirt with healing properties. Board themes include By the Waterfront (Cracked Crab Legs and Melted Herb Butter, Mini Herb-Roasted Corn on the Cob, Peel-and-Eat Shrimp with Zesty Cocktail Sauce and Garlic Butter, Blackberry Whiskey Lemonade), Harvest Moon (Roasted Pumpkin and Onion Skewers, Three Sisters Chili, Toasted Marshmallow S’mores, Pom Pom Juice), Just Sinful (Baked Brie Pastry, Fig Jam, and Fresh Thyme with Baguette Slices, Prosciutto-Wrapped Asparagus), and others. “If you need help deciding on what to put on your board, then we highly recommend Anni Daulter’s new book Bites on a Board. So yummy!” —Alexandria Stylebook
