Order now!]( Dear friend, [Elle Simone Scott] Hi! I’m Elle, and I’m on a mission to help you cook outside the box—or pot, or pan. I’m a big believer that cooking doesn’t have to be time-consuming or hard. Here at the dawn of 2023, let’s resolve to make our lives easier and enjoy cooking for ourselves and others more. Putting together a meal for a casual get-together should be as fun as the party you’re hosting. That’s why I wrote [Boards: Stylish Spreads for Casual Gatherings]( one of ATK’s most popular new cookbooks. This book is particularly meaningful to me, as a professional food stylist, because it’s given me an opportunity to share how to make a meal’s presentation as stunning as the food itself. With these tips, you’ll create boards so beautiful your phone will have to “eat” first. [This has instant classic written all over it. -Publishers Weekly Starred Review]( Friends, prepare to be delighted by this book. I’ll share my tips for building a board, my favorite test kitchen recipes, and advice on which elements you can buy instead of making for ultimate flexibility and convenience. We’ll take these spreads beyond meat, cheese, and carrot sticks and create a spread of beer brats, pickles, and cheese on Super Bowl Sunday; a Raw Bar featuring oysters and fish to entertain guests before a holiday dinner; Cookie Decorating Boards to keep small guests busy while grown-ups enjoy a Dessert Cheese Board afterwards; and more. Plus, I’ll teach you my foolproof formula for building your own board so you can use the ideas in this book as a jumping off point for fun and creative ideas of your own.

[Special Offer: Add How to Cocktail to your order for JUST $15!]( Be the host with the most with Boards [Boards]( We’ve filled [Boards]( with 186 recipes and 35 board ideas, along with inspiration, tips, and advice for making your food look gorgeous (such as the trick for making a salami rose). Keep the boards basic or go “all out” by using things you buy at the supermarket, things you make at home, or a mix of both. [1. Layer overlapping pieces of salami around the rim of a glass. 2. Flip the glass over onto your board to create a rose. 3. Ta-da!]( The food is the occasion. Boards are tailor-made for parties. They instantly make your gathering looser than a seated dinner, and there’s no real set mealtime, so guests can serve themselves and continue snacking until they’re full. But boards aren’t just for entertaining; it’s just as fun serving a board as dinner to your family of four, or even scaling a board down for a perfect date-night-in option (our [Movie Night Board]( and [Ice Cream Sundae Boards]( are F-U-N). [Movie Night Board. Ice Cream Sundae Board.]( Create Instagram-worthy Boards your guests will love [SAVE NOW]( What’s Your Type? [Wings Board]( Traditional Boards These are likely the most familiar to you.

[Movie Night Board. Ice Cream Sundae Board.]( [Chopped Salad Board]( Buffet Boards Here lots of components and topping options sit in little dishes. A big bowl of greens and a plethora of toppings make up our [Chopped Salad board]( while a few pints of ice cream and an assembly line of add-ons add up to our [Ice Cream Sundaes board](. [Baked Potato Board]( Spreads When a board is feeling too full or there are multiple distinct themes you want to highlight, it helps to break things up into separate boards. For our [Baked Potatoes board]( this technique helps give people ideas for topping combinations while encouraging mixing and matching. Make It Your Own [Inside Boards . . .]( We break down the essential elements of every great board in this book. With Elle’s techniques and advice, you’ll have the tools to create your spreads for any occasion. Boards for All Occasions [ORDER NOW]( If You Build It, They Will Feast [Steak Frites Board]( Steak frites was made to be served as a board. While [steak frites]( is a simple dish, it can be tricky to pull off at home (nobody likes cold fries). Our game-changing recipe has you start the fries in cold oil and cook the steak as they bubble away. By the time the fries are done, the steak is ready to slice and add to the board. The crispy fries soak up the steak’s juices and the parsley-shallot butter for a cohesive flavor bomb of a meal (and that’s before dunking each bite in a dipping sauce!). All that’s left to do is uncork a bottle of wine or mix up some martinis (you have to see our [Martini Board](. Shop Your House: Check out the serving platter . . . you don’t need special platters, use what you have including sheet pans, cake stands, even pottery and textiles from your travels.

While these boards may look ambitious, we break down the contents into two sections—“Start with” and “If you want, add”—to help you dial the effort up or down.
