If it’s a board for 3, 30, or 350 Kirsten has arranged them all, and you can too! The best boards contain many elements that can be prepped ahead, so cook along with Kirsten as she makes Quick Pickled Vegetables and Spiced Nuts, then follow along—or take notes for later—as she adds fresh fruits, vegetables, meats, and/or dips then kicks it up a notch with edible garnishes.We’ll talk about what elements make up a well-rounded cheese board, how to arrange cured meats for charcuterie boards, when to go beyond the traditional, and how to source local products. Recipe handout will be provided before class and link to class recording shared afterwards. Instructor: Kirsten Madaus.
