In honor of my mom’s, an entertainer extraordinaire, Birthday today, I choose the fab book, Platters & Boards for this week’s Book Club selection. In the past couple of years, cheese boards, and charcuterie platters have taken center stage in entertaining. I love putting one together when friends come over or when we meet for a picnic on the beach. This book is so full of great ideas and suggestions from how to choose a board to arranging your treats…..
