# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It looks impossibly impressive but requires zero cooking—just arranging, which honestly feels like cheating in the best way.
  • Everyone eats exactly what they want; there's something liberating about a board that doesn't demand you finish anything.
  • The waterfall detail turns a grazing board into a conversation piece that actually works as decoration and dinner simultaneously.
02 -
  • Lemon juice on cut fruit isn't optional—it's the difference between an Instagram-worthy board at minute one and a sad, brown situation by minute twenty.
  • Softer cheeses like brie can get greasy if they sit at room temperature too long, so add them last and give yourself permission to refresh them halfway through if needed.
  • The angle of that champagne glass matters more than you'd think; if it's too steep, everything rolls off; if it's too flat, it loses the magic.
03 -
  • Chill your board in the refrigerator for ten minutes before assembling—cold surfaces keep delicate items fresher longer and make the whole thing feel more refined.
  • Use a damp kitchen towel under the board if it's on a slippery table; the last thing you want is this work of art sliding across the tablecloth.
