Cheese board ideas are everywhere and none of them tell you how much to buy. This handbook does.
It is a printable handbook of 53 pages with 72 photographs: fifteen baked brie recipes and fifteen cheese board formulas, each with the exact amounts, the build order and what it costs.
How each page is written
Every board gets two full pages. One shows the finished board photographed whole, next to its numbered map. The other has the shopping list and the five moves.
Every recipe gives you grams and ounces, the oven temperature and something you can see or touch to know it is ready. Nothing here depends on guessing.
How it works
- Pick a board or a brie. The long boards go by occasion: date night for two, girls night for six, holiday, game day, brunch, dessert, and a budget board that feeds six under $25. Five more are built on a round board, the shape most people already own.
- Say how many people are coming. The Board Planner rescales every quantity in the book, writes the shopping list in supermarket aisle order and prices it.
- Build it from the map. Print the board map and place the five zones in the order they are numbered.
The Board Planner
It is not another PDF. It is one file that opens in the browser you already use. Double click and it runs, with the wifi off, and nothing you type ever leaves your computer. Besides the shopping list, it plans your week and remembers your pantry.
Who it is written for
Beginners who want a cheese board that works the first time, and people who have hosted for years and still guess.
What it leaves out
No fluff. No forty page introduction about the history of cheese. You get the recipes, the formulas, the charts and the printables, ready to print and use tonight.

Questions
What is The Board Planner? Does it need the internet?
It is a single file, not a PDF. Double click it and it opens in your own browser, the way a web page does. Pick a board, say how many people are coming and every quantity in the book rescales itself. It writes the shopping list in supermarket aisle order, prices it, plans your week and remembers your pantry. It works with the wifi off, and nothing you type in it ever leaves your computer.
Is there anything to install or sign up for?
No. There is nothing to install and nothing to sign up for.
I have never made a cheese board. Is this for me?
Yes. It is written for beginners and for people who have hosted for years and still guess: a cheese board that works the first time, and formulas a regular host will keep using.
How much cheese per person should I buy?
The How Much Cheese Per Guest chart answers that, and the planner rescales every quantity to the number of people coming.
What do I get when I download?
One zip file with seven files inside it and no folders. Open "00 - START HERE.pdf" first: three pages that tell you what to open next and in what order. Then the handbook, The Board Planner, and the two printables in US Letter and A4.
Do the printables come in A4?
Yes. The How Much Cheese Per Guest chart and the board maps each come in US Letter and A4.
Know how much to buy before you reach the counter.
Fifteen baked brie recipes, fifteen board formulas and a planner that rescales every quantity to the people coming.
