🥒 Why I Love Charcuterie (And You Will Too)

Beautiful wooden charcuterie board and “Vegan Boards” book

If you’ve ever admired a beautifully crafted charcuterie board and thought, “I wish I could do that,” I’m here to tell you - you absolutely can!

(Like with everything else we talk about around here, I totally believe in you! 🙂)

Charcuterie boards are one of my favorite ways to make plant-based eating DELICIOUS, DOABLE, and FUN. 

Whether it’s a casual gathering, a holiday party, or just a cozy night in, there’s just something magical about arranging an array of tasty bites for everyone to enjoy.

Here are just some of the reasons why I love charcuterie boards:

1. They’re Colorful and Creative:
   Think vibrant veggies, juicy fruits, crunchy nuts, and creamy plant-based cheeses. You can mix and match textures, flavors, and colors to create a spread that’s as much a feast for the eyes as it is for the taste buds.

2. They’re Versatile:
   Hosting a “mixed” crowd? Charcuterie boards are the perfect solution! You can create:
   🍇 A fully plant-based board that will wow even the biggest skeptics
   OR
   🥖 A mixed board with both vegan and non-vegan options - perfect for keeping everyone happy

3. They’re Easy and DOABLE:
   No complicated dishes, no stress. Just set it out and let everyone graze at their own pace. It’s a simple, inviting way to introduce plant-based foods to your loved ones without making it a big deal.

4. Plus - “char-cu-te-rie” (shar-koo-tuh-ree) - I mean, it's just SO FUN to say!!!

Imagine This:

A beautifully crafted board featuring:

• Marinated olives and artichoke hearts

• Creamy hummus and colorful veggie dips

• Crunchy crackers and toasted baguette slices

• Fresh fruits like grapes, berries, and sliced apples

• Plant-based cheeses that melt in your mouth

• A sprinkling of nuts, seeds, or even dark chocolate for a touch of indulgence

Well actually, don't just imagine…take a look at this charcuterie board my daughter and I created for New Year's Eve a few years back.  Most of the ingredients will look familiar to you.  Those that may not are some roasted chickpeas and marinated tofu cubes and a homemade cashew cheese ball.

Homemade vegan charcuterie board

Like I said - DELICIOUS, DOABLE, and FUN! 😀

While I'm proud of that pretty board that my daughter and I created, I've found some great tools that are going to make our boards even prettier this holiday season…

First, I found a great book, pictured above, VEGAN BOARDS, by Kate Kasbee.  

The subtitle is “50 Gorgeous Plant-Based Snack, Meal, and Dessert Boards for All Occasions.”

And she's not kidding.  In the book, she includes instructions for creating:

• Breakfast in Bed Board

• Movie Night Board

• Chocolate Fondue Board

• And 47 more!

All of them are absolutely GORGEOUS!  

Like I said, she's not kidding with her title. 😀

Plus she includes the recipes for every one of the delicious plant-based treats on her boards.

Now let me tell you about my recent UPGRADE in boards.  A good friend just gifted me with the BEAUTIFUL board you see pictured at the top of this blog post.  I mean, is it pretty or what?!?

But enough about me and my fascination with CHARCUTERIE BOARDS.
