# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It looks like you spent hours fussing, but it takes barely twenty minutes and tastes like pure celebration.
  • Everyone becomes a visual storyteller when they see it—they naturally want to photograph, share, and remember the moment.
  • You can adjust the ingredients based on what you have or what the season offers, so it never feels repetitive.
02 -
  • Prep your ingredients separately and don't arrange until thirty minutes before serving—this prevents browning, keeps everything crisp, and means the board still looks fresh when guests arrive.
  • The tilt of the glass matters more than perfection; a wobbling coupe that catches light is more memorable than a perfectly balanced one that looks stiff and staged.
03 -
  • Use a damp cloth to wipe your board before serving—it makes colors pop and catches light like the board itself is part of the presentation.
  • Invest in a quality cheese knife and keep small serving spoons nearby, because the honey and fig jam deserve the same attention as everything else on the board.
