How to Make the Ultimate Vegan Cheese Board

Step 1

Start by spreading your cheeses and spreads/preserves out on the platter/board. Ideally they should be in different areas of the board to balance it visually. If you have wheels of cheese, cut a wedge or two out of them for decoration.

Step 2

Cut small slices or chunks from your bread and fan them out with the remaining loaf around the cheeses and spreads/preserves.

Step 3

Fan the crackers out around the cheeses and spreads in the same way.

Step 4

If using vegan meats, cut slices of them and fan them out near the crackers.

Step 5

Place groups of your tangy foods (olives, artichokes etc.) around the board close to the cheeses. Alternatively just place them on the board in their jars.

Step 6

If using fruits like apples or pears, slice them thinly. If using figs or apricots, slice in half. Create clusters of the different fruits/berries you're using and place throughout the cheese board.

Step 7

Finally, add small clusters of nuts to fill out any bare spaces on the board.

Step 8

If using, add a couple of sprigs of herbs and colourful veggies to decorate the board.

Step 9

Place a clean knife next to each cheese, and a small fork/spoon in each jar, and enjoy!
