Deck the Boards: A Holiday Charcuterie Experience

Gather, graze and get ready for holiday entertaining. In this hands-on experience, you’ll learn alongside a Nourish Culinary chef as you build a beautifully balanced charcuterie board, explore thoughtful flavor pairings and pick up practical tips for creating an inviting holiday spread—without spending the entire party in the kitchen.

Best of all, you’ll build your board on a reusable charcuterie board that’s yours to take home, ready for your next gathering.

What you’ll learn:

• How to build and style a balanced charcuterie board
• Selecting and pairing cheeses, meats and accompaniments
• Balancing flavors, textures, shapes and colors
• Portioning and planning for different party sizes
• Creating height, movement and visual interest
• Seasonal garnishes and holiday presentation
• Make-ahead strategies and timing
• Practical tips for easier, more relaxed holiday entertaining
