# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Zero cooking means you can assemble this five minutes before guests arrive and still look like you have your life together.
  • The marble slab does half the work visually, making simple cheese chunks look like gallery art.
  • It's gluten-free and vegetarian, so you're not scrambling to accommodate everyone.
02 -
  • Never cut your cheeses right before serving—they need fifteen to twenty minutes at room temperature to taste their full selves, so cut them while the marble chills.
  • The marble slab itself is the real star, so keep it visible and let it anchor the whole presentation visually.
03 -
  • A cold marble slab keeps cheeses fresher longer, so chill it properly even though it's an extra step.
  • Cut your cheeses well before guests arrive so they're at room temperature and taste incredible, not dense and cold.
