Relish: An Adventure in Food, Style, and Everyday Fun by Daphne Oz
A meat and cheese platter is a great addition to any party and surprisingly easy to prepare.
You can use a wide variety of meats and cheese or keep it simple with a smaller crowd. You can provide crackers or bread, so people can assemble their own sandwiches too.
Creating your own meat and cheese platter is all a matter of personal taste, availability and budget. So go ahead and make it how you like it and enjoy.

Assembling Your Platter
How you assemble your platter will depend on the meat and cheese you choose and how they’re cut. Thinly sliced meats can be rolled up and arranged on the platter. Sliced cheese can be layers from the outside of the platter to the inside. Cubed cheeses can be arranged together.
Garnish with kale or parsley. Throw on some grapes for more visual appeal and color.
