Turn a snack board into a dinner feast.
My favorite get-togethers are always the ones that satisfy everyone’s appetite, exude a chill vibe, and induce zero pressure to impress others. Katherine Lewin, owner of the Brooklyn-based dinner party essentials shop,, agrees. That’s why she recommends skipping the “dinner” part of dinner parties altogether—and unleashing the potential of an epic cheese plate. “I think there’s something about dinner parties that feels constraining and somewhat theatrical,” Lewin says.
As temperatures drop and cozy nights creep up on our social calendars, Lewin explains how she takes a simple cheese board from appetizer to main event. Here are her five best tips for creating a convention-defying snack table that is varied, delicious, and fun.Obviously, cheese is a big component of any snack platter. When it comes to which varieties you should buy, Lewin loves the classic sweet and savory combo. Think red pepper jam with goat cheese, cherry jam with blue cheese, orwith cheddar.
Canned seafood is definitely having a moment. Lewin suggests serving a variety of not-too-fancy-but-still-very-chic tins of sliced octopus, calamari, or codfish. “It’s an experience in and of itself that’s perfect for a dinner party,” she says, “because people get to taste their way through them and pick out their favorites. It’s also a great way to add protein to the table.
