# Cooking Tips:

01 -
  • It looks impossibly elegant with minimal effort—your guests will think you've been planning this for days when you've only spent twenty minutes.
  • The lavender-infused elements create a sophisticated flavor story that feels intentional and Instagram-worthy without being pretentious.
  • It's a cheese board that tastes like a memory, with floral notes that linger pleasantly on the palate.
02 -
  • Culinary lavender and ornamental lavender are entirely different things—ornamental lavender can be toxic, so always buy culinary lavender from food sources. I learned this the hard way when I nearly used my dried craft lavender.
  • Arrange your board no more than 30 minutes before serving; the longer soft cheeses sit exposed to air, the more they can dry out and lose their creamy appeal.
  • Not all edible flowers are created equal—verify each variety is pesticide-free and actually labeled as edible. A beautiful pansy from a garden center could be treated with chemicals you don't want near food.
03 -
  • Chill your board lightly before arranging if your kitchen is warm; cool cheese holds its shape better and the whole presentation stays fresher longer.
  • Use a marble or ceramic board rather than wood if possible—the pale surface will make your pastel colors pop even more dramatically and feel more intentional.
  • Don't arrange in straight lines or geometric patterns; nature and dreams aren't organized, so neither should your board be. Clustered, flowing arrangements feel more luxurious and inspired.
