CHEESE PLATTER
Assembling a stunning fruit and cheese platter requires no cooking. I follow a few key principles to be sure it looks festive and is easy for guests to help themselves. First, I choose an interesting assortment of cheeses--hard sharp cheeses, soft creamy ones, and pungent blue cheeses. I look for an interesting mix of flavors, textures, and colors.

Steps:
- Go to the best cheese shop in town and ask the person at the counter which cheeses are ready to serve. Taste everything; they expect you to. We all know that the Brie may look terrific, but it can be underripe and tough or overripe and ammoniated. You want only the freshest cheeses that are perfectly ripened. Take them home, refrigerate them, and then bring them to room temperature a few hours before serving.
- Second, be sure to have a platter or wooden board that is flat and large enough to hold the cheeses without crowding them. Arrange the cheeses with the cut sides facing out, and with several small cheese knives, maybe one for each type of cheese.
- Third, to finish the platter, add sliced breads or crackers, and green leaves. I use either lemon or galax leaves, which you can get from your florist. If you have a garden, any large flat leaf like hydrangea looks beautiful, but be sure they aren't poisonous and are pesticide-free!
- Overall, the simpler the design, the better the platter looks. Group each kind of cheese together and add one large bunch of green or red grapes in the center to create a visual focal point. Fill in the spaces with lots of crackers or small slices of bread.

- Carr’s Table Water Crackers. Serving Carr’s water biscuits with cheese is about as classic as it gets. The flavor is neutral with an ever-so-slightly toasty undertone that goes with every cheese style imaginable.
- Stonewall Kitchen Sea Salt Crackers (Regular and GF) Stonewall’s thin, crispy, delicately-flavored sea salt crackers are a staple in our pantry. The hint of surface salt is subtle, so you won’t be over-salting your guests between the cheese and crackers.
- Cabaret Buttery Original Crackers. Guests always appreciate crisp butter crackers on a cheese plate. Since Cabaret are more richly-flavored than other plain crackers, and slightly sweet, we like to arrange them near cheeses like mature cheddar.
- Grissini Breadsticks. Thin, crisp olive oil Grissini breadsticks are a rustic-yet-elegant choice for a cheese display. They can make an impressive centerpiece when presented upright in a tall glass.
- Carr’s Whole Wheat. This is the choice that straddles the border between cracker and cookie. Carr’s Whole Wheat Crackers are thicker than other varieties on this list (similar to a digestive biscuit) with a delicate, honey-like sweetness reminiscent of graham crackers.
- Triscuit Original. It doesn’t get any more classic in the wheat category than a Triscuit. These hearty, woven crackers are versatile enough to serve with just about any cheese, whether it’s soft and spreadable or crumbly.
- Breton Original. Made with whole wheat flour and wheat germ, these cracker rounds have a crisp texture and mild, nutty flavor that makes them versatile for pairing with cheese.
- Lesley Stowe’s Raincoast Crisps. These artisan, small-batch crisps look like tiny little slices of fruit and nut bread. Studded with dried fruits, seeds, and nuts, they’re a great all-in-one bite to pair with a variety of cheeses.
- Rip Rap Bakery Seeded Crackers. Sprinkled with bands of poppy seeds, sesame seeds, and paprika, Rip Rap’s seeded crackers pop visually on a cheese board.
- Crunchmaster Multi-Grain Sea Salt (GF) These crunchy, gluten-free Multi-Grain Sea Salt crackers are made with rice flour, corn, and a blend of 4 seeds.
