Making a Charcuterie Board with the Sisters from Sassool Cafe
Did you catch the latest Chats from the Blog Cabin? If you didn’t you can always catch the replay. But I was joined by sisters Noelle and Simone, you might remember Simone joined me for a simple dinner recipe a few weeks ago, from Sassool Cafe for a lunch and learn episode about creating a charcuterie board for one or for many. If you missed the chat, here is a replay.
As promised during the live show, here are all the ingredients and instructions that they used on the live show. Thank you Simone for sending these over. Keep following the instructions on how to make the large and small cheese boards.
Steps to a Beautiful Cheese/Charcuterie Board
1. Start with your Anchors –items in the small bowls and ramekins
2. Add cheese wedges or whole/large block items
3. Add sliced cheese and sliced crudites, and pickles (fan around the anchors)
4. Add meats, crackers and bread (fan around the anchors)
5. Add cube items, and small pieces like olives, that are loose on the board (fill in the empty space)
6. Add large shoots of greenery or herbs to give it an extra fresh look
7. Finish by adding cute small spoons and tongs
