The Library is having guests inhouse explaining and creating a Charcuterie Board for our Tuesday Creation event.

The word charcuterie (pronounced shar-koo-tuh-ree) comes from the French words chair (flesh) and cut (cooked). Traditionally, it refers to the culinary art of curing, smoking, and preserving meats—especially pork. Think pâté, prosciutto, salami, and rillettes.  In today’s gourmet scene, the definition of a charcuterie board has broadened. It now includes cheese, crackers, fruit, nuts, pickles, jams, and even sweets. It’s become a curated experience—a stylish symphony of taste, texture, and color that appeals to foodies and aesthetes alike. ~CookinGenie.com
