This is a fantastic book. There are beautiful photographs for each platter, with detailed instructions and recipes. I have made two platters and they turned out perfect. I highly recommend this book for people seeking vegan platter ideas.

In love with this book!
First things first – this can be for vegans and non-vegans alike. You can always replace a vegan dip by a cheesy dip or adjust the boards, but the point is it is beautiful and colourful and the boards leap off the page and they are perfect for when we can have some sort of social life again. (Yes, some are good for now, but really, they should be shown off and enjoyed with others.)
It’s less of a recipe book and more about presentation. Rather than having a detailed recipe for tacos, it is a build-your-own taco board. Same for some desserts and other “meals”. 
Board after board is broken down into elements (rather than ingredients) and pairings and there is a board for every occasion. 
The recipes you do need are at the back. I was particularly interested in salsas and dips to mix up (and, let’s be honest elevate my beloved crudités platters) and it didn’t disappoint.

At first glance it might be easy to dismiss Vegan Boards by Kate Kasbee as a coffee-table book courtesy of the Instragram era. Yet, while many of the food layouts, though eye-catching, have practical-ole-me wondering why you would serve the peanut sauce on the side of the noodles rather than just mix them together so you don’t create a mess or why would you waste all of that time to create that board when it strikes me as impractical, some are definitely guest-worthy. Certainly, creating a breakfast board for guests on a Saturday or Sunday morning or on vacation seems like it would be a wonderful, appreciated gift, especially if you can come close to recreating the picture-worthy boards that Kate Kasbee had done.

Besides pages of board ideas with instructions for breakfasts, snacks, mealtimes, and desserts, Kasbee has a slew of recipes that had my taste buds activating. These are not the recipes that you encounter over and over again in vegan cookbooks (I should know 😉 ). I love the idea of trying different flavored cauliflower wings, chickpea scramble, chickpea salad sandwiches, caramelized onion dip (talk about salivating!), Banh Mi pulled jackfruit, rustic peach jam with thyme, and roasted beet hummus. I mean, do you see where I’m going with this? These are tantalizing recipes that just make me want to run into the kitchen and rustle them up!

While I might not become the Martha Stewart of food boards or whoever the reigning queen of food boards might be, I can see myself trying this for guests just to impress. Because I know they would be if I produced a board that in any way resembled some of these! And, the recipes. Oh, yes, I am definitely doing the recipes.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Such a great book.  Love that there is a photo for every board in this book.  Our family loves food boards and I haven’t been able to find many ideas online for them.  This is such a great collection and I live that it even includes breakfast boards!

This is a gorgeous and fun book of all kinds of vegan boards, from Cincinnati chili boards to breakfast in bed boards. They're all colorful and absolutely gorgeous, and make you want to make them all. Each board is shown in a giant color photo and then the opposite page tells you the ingredients/recipes each one uses and the steps to assemble it. Then the second section of the book has recipes. There is no nutritional information provided for the recipes, but otherwise it's a wonderful book.

I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for review.

Definitely one of the most creative cookbooks I’ve seen. It’s perfect for inspiration for a meal for a night in or a night where you’re hosting a crowd. Very stunning and easy ways to execute any type of board for any occasion. Makes you excited to host and it seems so simple and easy!

I really enjoyed this cookbook. As someone who is trying to incorporate more vegan options into her menu, I found it very useful. The recipes are not overly difficult, which I always appreciate. And the visuals made everything really appetizing.

Ah incredible cookbook filled with innovative recipes and beautifully displayed food. I was planning to make the sweet potato board for my family boxing day event but was unable to due to last minute pandemic restrictions, but will make a smaller version for myself and my partner. Shows vegan food does not need to be boring!

Such a wonderful book! I love making boards at home and how done that for years, but never realized until now how versatile it is, and that so many things can be turned into boards. I got many new great ideas from this book.  I will for sure make several of these boards. The pictures are absolutely stunning! Can't say which one is my favourite since there are too many great ones to choose from. I also love it that most can be done without too much effort. Takes awhile to chop some things, but otherwise I'm sure anyone can make great boards. There are some recipes in the book, but they are fairly simple and straightforward.

Vegan Boards by Kate Kasbee is a brilliant take on snack boards that are traditionally filled with meats and cheeses.  As someone who currently does not follow a vegan diet, this book is full of fantastic ideas to incorporate healthier foods as snacks that can be enjoyed by everyone. 
The book itself is presented beautifully. Each recipe has a full paged picture of how the board will look and there are ideas for meals for any time of the day and all kinds of occasions.
This is a brilliant book, not just for those who currently have a vegan diet, but also for anyone looking to transition into this lifestyle.

Really enjoyed the vegan board recipes and am excited to try these with my family.  The recipes seem very favorable and I love the amount of time needed to prepare these for my family and friends when we entertain. I would highly recommend this book to friends and family!!

What a gorgeous book! The pictures are stunning and the "recipes" are simple enough to assemble. I love that it was separated into occasion charcuterie boards thus depending on whether you want a breakfast, dinner, or even a party charcuterie board you can flip straight to those pages. Especially important for a book such as this is the inclusion of a photo for each one of these boards. I highly look forward to purchasing this book when it is published!

I love this book for bringing beautiful and exciting spreads to those who are vegan or simply looking for healthier options. The recipes look delicious and are much more exciting than a smile meat and cheese platter.  I can't wait to make some of these for my next gathering. 
Many thanks to Harvard Common Press and NetGalley for the advance copy.

I received a copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a gorgeous grazing plate book!!

While I'm not vegan most of this boards absolutely appeal to me. There's sweet and savory boards and plates with information about what's included in each. The photos of each board are beautiful! There's also recipes included in the back so you can recreate every board yourself. There's helpful information in choosing and designing a board as well as tips for what to include. Not all of the boards are practical, but they are beautiful and fun and so many great ideas! Some of the recipes include vegan cheese and other plant-based alternatives instead of just fruits and vegetables so it's a pretty thorough book.

Great read of beautiful boards and snacking ideas!

When life for the entire universe and planet turns on its end and like everyone else you "have nothing to do" while your place of work is once again closed and you are continuing to be in #COVID19 #socialisolation as the #secondwave is upon us, superspeed readers like me can read 300+ pages/hour, so yes, I have read the book … and many more today.

I requested and received a temporary digital Advance Reader Copy of this book from #NetGalley, the publisher and the author in exchange for an honest review.

From the publisher, as I do not repeat the contents or story of books in reviews, I let them do it as they do it better than I do 😸.

Finally, a book of beautiful food board ideas for snacks, parties, and family meals that fit your plant-based diet.

Serving artfully arranged foods on boards or platters is extremely popular, but until now, all the books on the subject have been full of meats, cheeses, and other animal products. Vegan Boards is the first book to make this trend accessible to people who follow an entirely plant-based diet. The results are delectable—and gorgeous to behold.

In these pages, Kate Kasbee, co-creator of the popular blog Well Vegan, shows you how to create 50 stunning plant-based boards. Step-by-step instructions and a color photograph are included for each one. All the boards are remarkably easy to prepare and most require no cooking at all. Those that require cooking are simple to make, such as roasted vegetables, quesadillas, or bruschetta. You'll also find guidance on how to use equipment and utensils to make serving food on boards both beautiful and safe.

Treat your family and friends to enticing vegan boards for every occasion, from breakfast and brunch, grazing at home, and full meals to seasonal celebrations, special occasions, and dessert, including:
• Sweet & Savory Toast Board
• Post-Workout Lunch Board
• Spring Forward Board
• Rainbow Chopped Salad Board
• Mediterranean Grazing Board
• Coconut Chickpea Curry Board
• Family Movie Night Board
• Date Night Vegan Cheese Board
• Mini Bundt Cakes Board
Make these creative vegan boards ahead of time and then enjoy spending time with your impressed and delighted family or guests.

I absolutely adore boards and it is about time that someone made one for vegans and vegetarians. The ideas are amazing (Dessert boards with "cakes with a hole in it"? My Big Fat Greek Wedding awesomeness!! ) and if you have some people who insist that vegan cheese is “udder nonsense” then you could easily add in some animal products or use the ideas here to make one board vegan and one board that is vegetarian and one that is for carnivores. A great book for get-togethers…I wonder when that will be safe and doable again so just make one and have it for dinner!!

As always, I try to find a reason to not rate with stars as I simply adore emojis (outside of their incessant use by "🙏-ed Social Influencer Millennials/#BachelorNation survivors/Tik-Tok and YouTube Millionaires/snowflakes / literally-like-overusers etc. " on Instagram and Twitter... Get a real job, people!) so let's give it 🍅🥕🍑 🍄 🌶️

This is the perfect recipe book for every person who loves hosting a get together! Full of deliciously colorful photographs that perfectly illustrate how to arrange and present each board, <u>Vegan Boards</u> features creative and fun ideas ranging from the simple to the more advanced. Some boards call for store bought items but plenty include homemade ingredients which Kasbee provides the recipes for in the back of the book. I can't wait to put some of these board ideas to use!

This is an absolutely stunning book!! I love that each of the boards is shown in full color and that all the details are on the opposite page.  The recipes are delicious sounding and I want to make each and every one of these boards.  I am definitely looking forward to starting on it this weekend.  Will definitely be buying this in hard copy.
