As the founder of the popular cheese-focused website and, I am constantly asked to come up with 'accessible' plates with simple items from your local grocery store. We got you covered. I created 'That Easy Entertaining Plate' for that exact purpose.

Follow our six easy steps and never look back.First, you need something to create the cheese plate on. Household items like cutting boards and cookie trays will do the trick! I typically use an 11-by-13-inch wooden cutting board for my cheese plate, which can feed up to 15 people as an appetizer. You'll also need something to hold your more gooey items. I love using 2-ounce glass ramekins for jams and honey.

Keeps the plate looking organized and sleek! Since this is the 'Easy Entertaining' plate, I went with extra Brie (a fan favorite). Cutting cheese is important for easy serving and grazing. On this board, I cut the Gruyere in 1/2-inch-thick slices and cut the goat Brie into 12 triangular slices. I kept the French Brie intact for the shape, and it's easy to cut in the moment. While placing cheese, I like to spread out the different textures across the board. With this plate, I put the two blocks of Brie opposite one another, and fanned out the Gruyere parallel to each.
The salami river is the key to a fun cheese plate. In this plate, I replaced my usual salami with prosciutto. Any meat works. Lightly fold the prosciutto in your hand and lay on the board to create a line. It creates a river of flowing meaty goodness.Typically, I'll put fruit and veggies on a cheese plate and separate them on either sides of the salami (or, in this case, prosciutto) river. I prefer the sweet fruit flavors to stick together in contrast to the more tangy vegetables. This is a fruit-forward plate, so I spread the sliced apples, raspberries, blackberries and pomegranate seeds evenly across the board to create a mirror effect.
The crunch step consists of crackers, nuts, bread and other crunchy items. In this step, you can fill in the gaps you see left on the plate. We used crackers as the crunch on this plate, and filled in the gaps on the left and right side of the board.Fill in that lone ramekin with a jam or compote!
We used a fig jam, which pairs beautifully with Brie and creamy cheese.My favorite part, the garnish! For 'That Easy Entertaining Plate,' we used sprigs of rosemary and flowers from the grocery store.

The flowers are not edible, so best to remove from the plate before serving. If you're lucky, your grocery story might sell edible flowers. Somehow I can't ever find them. In general, flowers are great for the overall tablescape and photos.

Personalised Cherished Number Plates
Since their humble beginning in 1903, cherished numbers have continued to increase in popularity often adding the finishing touch to our prized possessions and very often prove to be a valuable investment.
The Motor Car Act 1903, which came into force on 1 January 1904, required all motor vehicles to be entered on an official vehicle register, and to carry number plates. The Act was passed in order that vehicles could be easily traced in the event of an accident or contravention of the law. Vehicle registration number plates in the UK are rectangular or square in shape, with the exact permitted dimensions of the plate and its lettering set down in law.
