Tasting Boards

A reflection of flavours, a plateau for culinary creativity, a gastronomic postcard… the concept of the tasting board is one of the greatest gifts to tastebuds ever to emerge from the kitchen. Here, we highlight three famous iterations along with the tableware to make it an occasion that looks as good as it tastes.

Spanish Tapas

What to serve: Padrón peppers, Manchego cheese, quince paste, garlic prawns, Marcona almonds and croquetas, washed down with Rioja. Presented on: Woodworks by Ted Todd charcuterie board, a Mike Parry platter, vintage bowls, and a Los Vasos de Agua Clara carafe.

Danish Smörgåsbords

What to serve: smörgåsbords with pickled herring, hard boiled eggs, gherkin, beetroot and cream cheese, and a cold beer. Presented on: Lucas Castex serving board, Kaneko Kohyo plates, and Andrew Iannazzi beer mugs (using Carl Auböck’s brass-hand bottle opener for extra-special effect).

Lebanese Mezze Platters

What to serve: hummus, labneh, baba ghanoush, olives, tabbouleh, za’atar flatbreads, and a refreshing glass of jallab over ice. On what: Woodworks by Ted Todd chopping board, Terrafirma Ceramics trays, Malaika plates and table linen, Kaneko Kohyo bowls, and Micheluzzi Glass tumblers.
