THAT CHEESE PLATE WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE

The Dial Press

Marissa Mullen

One of our favorite Instagram accounts to follow is @CheeseByNumbers which walks you through how to create stellar cheese plates through videos that lay out what you need for your desired look. Being that we can never get enough cheese, we were very excited to hear about Marissa Mullen's new book that is the next coffee table book that we will actually enjoy doing as we have time on our hands!

What we love about her approach is that she breaks down the cheese plate by laying out what you need in terms of the cheese, meat, produce, dips, crunch and garnish.

It's a great way to get creative and will change all of your future gatherings as well as create at home Instagram worthy moments! You can also enhance it by adding your favorite beverages to make it an occasion whether it's watching a movie, having a friend swing by or to do the ultimate self-care solo!
