New Book
Chances are, you love cheese. It’s delicious, indulgent, and never lets you down–it’s everything you could want in comfort food. How many of us haven’t spent an evening blissed out with a wedge of brie and a glass of wine? Creator of the Instagram sensation @ThatCheesePlate Marissa Mullen takes cheese to a whole new level with her gorgeous, show-stopping cheese plates. With her simple step-by-step Cheese by Numbers method, she breaks down the cheese plate into its basic components–cheese, meat (aka the Salami River), produce, crunch, dips, garnish–and shows you how to recreate these beautiful spreads for any occasion, whether it’s a dinner party, a book club gathering, wine nights with friends, or your classy Netflix binge. But cheese plates aren’t just the greatest snack ever created. They’re also an important form of self-care. (Think of the zen art of making sand mandalas, or flower arranging–but you can eat the results.) This Cheese Plate Will Change Your Life celebrates the ways in which cheese brings people together, and how just crafting a cheese plate can be a meditative act that lets us tap into our creativity. With over 50 easy-to-make yet showstopping cheese plates, this book will teach you how to relax, enjoy, and indulge–and let cheese spark joy.
