Last Days to Save Up to 70% on celebration-worthy cookbooks. Boards: As Seen On Good Morning America! Save on Books Now!]( Dear friend, [Elle Simone Scott] Hi. I’m Elle, and I want you to have more fun every day. To be specific, I want you to remember that it’s perfectly OK to cook “outside the box” from time to time. I’m a big believer in creating easy, superdoable meals and casual get-togethers that feel special but don’t require hours of planning and prep. I’m also about shopping smart, including grabbing a great deal when I see one. Are you with me? Then grab these last chance discounts on cookbooks perfect for entertaining and let’s celebrate food, flavor, and failproof cooking every day, whether you’re cooking for one, two, four, or twenty-four. I’m going to start with an ATK cookbook I’m VERY proud of . . . [Boards: Stylish Spreads for Casual Gatherings]( by yours truly. Prepare to be delighted, friends, especially if you think boards are all about cheese, meat, and strategically placed grapes and carrot sticks. While there are plenty of elevated basic options inside, boards can be So. Much. More. They’re an easy-yet-elegant way of presenting food for all kinds of occasions. [This has instant classic written all over it. -Publishers Weekly Starred Review]( Boards, like all the books in [our Entertaining collection]( will help you create memorable feasts–from fun apps, snack affairs, and low-lift brunches (actually the name of one of our boards) to showstopping holiday spreads.

Save 33%. Just $19.99! Cover price: $30]( [Boards. Save 33%. Just $19.99! Cover price: $30]( We’ve filled [Boards]( with 186 recipes and 35 board ideas, along with inspiration, tips, and advice for making your food look gorgeous (such as the trick for making a salami rose). Keep the boards basic or go “all out” by using things you buy at the supermarket, things you make at home, or a mix of both. [1. Layer overlapping pieces of salami around the rim of a glass. 2. Flip the glass over onto your board to create a rose. 3. Ta-da!]( The food is the occasion. Boards are tailor-made for parties. They instantly make your gathering looser than a seated dinner, and there’s no real set mealtime, so guests can serve themselves and continue snacking until they’re full. But boards aren’t just for entertaining; it’s just as fun serving a board as dinner to your family of four, or even scaling a board down for a perfect date-night-in option (our [Movie Night Board]( and [Ballpark Boards]( are F-U-N). [Movie Night Board and Ballpark Board]( Steak frites was made to be served as a board. While [steak frites]( is a simple dish, it can be tricky to pull off at home (nobody likes cold fries). Our game-changing recipe has you start the fries in cold oil and cook the steak as they bubble away. By the time the fries are done, the steak is ready to slice and add to the board. The crispy fries soak up the steak’s juices and the parsley-shallot butter for a cohesive flavor bomb of a meal (and that’s before dunking each bite in a dipping sauce!). All that’s left to do is uncork a bottle of wine or mix up some martinis (you have to see our [Martini Board](.

[Hummus swirl, mustard spread and cracker line]( • The Swirl: For a no-fail way to make dips look delicious, use the back of a spoon to press into the dip (or hummus) in a swirling, back-and-forth motion with varying degrees of pressure. Then, drizzle with olive oil to fill in the wells, and/or sprinkle with chopped herbs or cracked black pepper. • The Lift: Have an ingredient that’s prone to sticking to the board (hello smoked salmon!)? Prop it up on a bed of leafy greens or sprouts. It gives definition, makes it easier to pick up, and adds softness to the board. • Keep It Fresh: Once your board is made, cover it with damp paper towels. Be sure to leave the crackers and other soggy-prone items off until you’re ready to serve.
