Editorial Reviews

Cooking with Cocktail Rings blogger Mazon-Chambers debuts with a lavish spread of impress-your-guests boards and platters. The fare has a global flavor profile and recipes are organized by theme (classic entertaining, special occasion, international Mediterranean, close-to-home favorites), with presentations showcasing options including a charcuterie cheese board with raspberry-habanero jam and maple-apple baked brie; a Tailgating Board of Korean chicken wings; and a seafood platter full of buttery mini lobster rolls. Italian, Greek, and Turkish recipes comprise Mediterranean platters featuring spanakopita bites and rice and beef dolmas. The Hawaiian pupu platter stars ahi poke cups, while a Mexican board includes a simple shrimp ceviche. Recipes include planning timelines (what to do early in the week; the day before; an hour before), and lush photos serve as inspiration for arranging eye-popping platters. These innovative, crowd-pleasing spreads elevate the standard meat and cheese board. (Aug.)
