With the year winding down and homes filling up with cosy get-togethers, grazing tables have become the one thing everyone is turning to. They’re easy to put together and instantly Instagrammable; the kind of spread that stops people mid-conversation, makes phones come out, and turns a simple living room into a moment worth capturing. You can keep it classic with cheeses, fruits and crackers, or play with themes- Mediterranean, Asian, and, if you’re feeling a little experimental, even Gujarati or South Indian, depending on the mood of the night. And the truth is, a grazing table always looks like you’ve put in far more effort than you actually have. Guests love the freedom to graze and mingle; hosts love how warm, abundant and low-stress it feels. As year-end celebrating picks up, it’s become the simplest way to elevate a gathering without getting caught up in the kitchen.
And if you’d rather leave it to the experts, here are a few names who make grazing tables look effortless, because they truly know what they’re doing.
