Autumn Garland Cheese Board

The leaves on the trees are starting to turn to vibrant burnt orange hues, pumpkin-spiced lattes are back in coffee shops, and cosy jumpers are at the ready. It’s time to enjoy the Autumn season with friends and family.  A perfect way to enjoy the season is this easy cheeseboard made with local cheese and sourced fruit and veg from your local farm shop such as the Hollies or Cheerbrook.

The colours, textures, flavours and aroma of this board make me reminisce of Autumn evenings around the fire pit with friends, chatting and eating and having fun. You can use any of your favourite cheeses here and use fruits and berries that make the cheese pop. By using the Autumn colour pallet, you can’t fail.
