Method

Based on 10 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Start by selecting your largest platter or board and arrange your cheeses across the board. While the cheese is cold, you can chop the harder cheese into slices if you wish, though leave the soft ones whole. If using meats, bundle into nests or fold to create a variety of textures across the board.

Step 2

From there, use small bowls or dishes to add in the condiments (such as honey, chutney) and salty nibbles (such as olives). Scatter and arrange any fruit or veg next, cutting as much or as little as you like, finishing with some roasted nuts. Add the crackers around the edge of the board or use them to fill up any empty spaces. Voila!
