exi Pellegrini says that for as long as she can remember she’s gotten excited when she finds a charcuterie board on the menu: “Any time I’m at a restaurant, I immediately look to see if there is any type of cheese board, and if there is, nine times out of ten I make sure that I order one for the table.” It’s hard to resist a well-balanced board with a mix of creamy and sharp cheeses, delicatessen meats, briny pickles, crisp crackers, and sweet, fresh fruits.

Soon, Pellegrini became known in her friend group for bringing homemade charcuterie boards to nearly every gettogether. They’re a feast for the eyes as well as the stomach.

Good Enough to Eat “I’m a big foodie, and I’m also very aesthetically driven,” Pellegrini says. “I’ve always had such a passion for this because I can take my creativity and my love of food and combine them. Charcuterie is considered an art.” Fresh flowers or seasonal garnishes accent her high-end meats and cheeses.
