Rule number one when it comes to grazing tables: more is more.
Think you’d like to try your hand at arranging one of these smorgasbord-esque buffets this holiday season? The key to pulling it off is throwing caution to the wind and just going for it. Save your restraint for your next gastronomy night — grazing tables are all about encouraging guests to gather, eat freely, and relax. And for the party host, it doesn’t get much easier than a display that requires little to no cooking, and whose beauty is in its messiness.
Right now, we’re all about creating our own over-the-top grazing experiences using store bought ingredients, and the 8 examples below are all the inspiration we need to get started.
