There’s something special about gathering around a beautifully arranged board of food; the colors, the textures, the shared laughter as everyone shares it together. In her newest book, Celebration Boards: 50 Creative Boards to Turn Any Occasion into a Celebration, bestselling author and entertaining expert Maegan Brown (better known as The BakerMama) shows us that those joyful moments don’t have to wait for big holidays or milestones. This fourth book in her beloved series continues the fun, festive trend she helped popularize. It offers approachable, family-friendly boards, which we can’t wait to make and try. In our conversation, Maegan shares the love she expresses in her creations, and we’re excited to give you a closer look at four of her newest boards; just in time for those Autumnal get-togethers too.
