# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Everything is raw, ready, and no cooking means your kitchen stays cool and your energy stays high.
  • You can eat as much or as little as you want, mixed and matched however you feel that day.
  • It looks restaurant-quality even though you made it in your own home without any fancy skills.
02 -
  • Don't arrange everything in straight lines or circles—asymmetry actually makes boards look more abundant and inviting than perfect geometry.
  • Keep your vegetables separate from the dips until the moment of serving, otherwise even the heartiest snap peas start to get sad and limp.
03 -
  • Odd numbers of items in each cluster look more natural than even ones, so arrange crackers or cheese in groups of three or five instead of two or four.
  • Keep your dips slightly cool by chilling the bowls beforehand, and the whole board will stay fresher longer while you're eating.
