The Curated Board is the cookbook I didn’t even know I was craving (both literally and figuratively). From a Lebanese Sheet Pan Brunch to a Picnic in the Park to a Strawberry Fields for Everyone dessert board (and by ‘everyone,’ Bebe means me—but don’t worry, I’ll share), this beautifully photographed and styled book has something for all the peeps in your life, from morning to night and every time in between.”

The Curated Board is how we all love to eat and entertain. The detailed themes for the boards could be used for a multitude of occasions year-round and even get you packed up to enjoy nature in style.

Beverage-pairing suggestions were incredibly thoughtful and spot-on. Brava, Bebe!” 
—SHELLEY LINDGREN, co-owner and wine director of A16 and SPQR, sommelier, cookbook author, and James

“In The Curated Board, food boards aren’t a trend, but a permanent loom to weave the way we gather around the table. We all need Bebe’s book, for its precise and original recipes, useful kitchen tips, colorful beauty, unexpected flavors, and the boundless joy it brings to cooking.”
—VIOLA BUITONI, chef, instructor, and author of Italy by Ingredient
