Questions
15 Plant-Based Boards: questions before you buy
Can a charcuterie board be vegan?
Yes. A vegan board swaps cured meat and dairy cheese for nut cheeses, dips like hummus and baba ghanoush, marinated vegetables, plant proteins like falafel, and the usual fruit, nuts, olives and crackers.
Are all 15 boards vegan?
Yes. Every board has no meat and no dairy. Check labels on store-bought items like crackers, breads and dips, since some contain honey, egg or milk.
What replaces cheese on a plant-based board?
Cashew and almond cheeses, hummus, white bean dip, vegan tzatziki and marinated tofu or tempeh. The book says which ones each board uses and where to put them.
Are the boards nut-free?
Not all of them. Many use nut cheeses, pistachios or almonds. The substitutions page for each board helps you swap them out for a guest with a tree nut allergy.
Is there a paperback?
Yes, the paperback is on Amazon at $18.99. The ebook is an instant PDF download from Gumroad.
How do I get the ebook?
Checkout is on Gumroad. You get a download link by email straight away, and the PDF stays in your Gumroad library.
