Veggie Charcuterie Board

Who wouldn’t like to serve a hassle free appetizer with ‘what you have on hand’ at a party? I can see many of you agreeing with me. 

Charcuterie board fits the bill perfectly. Charcuterie is a French word, pronounced shar-cu-terie is primarily an array of cured meats. It can also include other accompaniments like raw veggies, various kinds of cheese, nuts, fruits, dips, sauces, chutneys, breads, toast, crackers and chocolate. I’m sure many of you have the above mentioned items in your pantry and refrigerator.

It is easily customizable and can be made vegetarian or vegan. You can serve it at a summer party with seasonal produce and even in fall or winter. Speaking of winter, it is an apt appetizer to serve at a Thanksgiving meal with root veggies and an array of soft gooey cheese like brie. The board to serve charcuterie can be made of wood, slate or metal. Choose a board big enough for your guests.

I served this at my website/blog launch party and it was loved by my guests. It makes for a striking presentation. Make it aesthetically pleasing to the eye using your imagination. Try this at you next party or get together and impress your guests.

The famous proverb "you are what you eat” as quoted by the French author Anthelme Brillat-Savarin is very true. Food nourishes you from the inside out. Good health is of utmost importance to me. Vegetarianism and Veganism are gaining immense popularity these days. Natural, organic, healthy and homemade is my mantra.
