- In this episode I am sharing my tips for creating an opulent but inexpensive Charcuterie Board. Also included is a trip to the first incorporated city in the United States: Hudson, New York!
I purchased the meats, cheeses, fruits, veg, and assorted crackers from Aldi for $35.61. (The baguette, jam, and almonds were pricey simply because I purchased them from a high-end specialty shop.)
Ingredients on my board:
Condiments:
Fig jam
Cornichon (gherkins)
Cheeses:
Brie
Manchego
Gouda
Havarti
Sharp White Cheddar
Meats:
Organic smoked turkey breast
Combo pack of 3 cured meats (pepper salami, hot cappacolo, hot Calabrese)
Fruits, Veg:
Miniature cucumber
Apple slices (I soaked these in lemon juice to avoid browning)
Grapes
Dried apricots
Salted almonds
Blackberries
For serving:
Toasted rounds of a baguette
Assorted crackers

The fact that you bargin shop makes your channel all the better.
You always improve the space you're in. You make things beautiful... Because that's what you have inside. ❤
Sundays are absolutely lovely with you Kevin. Thank you for the tour and your charcuterie board looks heaven.❤😊
This is really lovely Kevin. What a treat for your friend. Your sweet dog is so adorable. You can feel the love!
How wonderful and generous to show Aldi as a venue for quality at an affordable price. Charm and elegance are never pretentious, and Kevin has both in abundance for our delight and education. Thank you, Kevin!!
Kevin, you are such a gracious host, so very thoughtful with all the details. The charcuterie board was so plentiful and beautiful to look at. Truly fabulous!
I totally agree.
Kevin, you did a beautiful job/presentation of the charcuterie board. Aldi's is becoming very popular with today's grocery prices! Thanks for a peaceful, entertaining video.
I've never been to Aldis. Wow, I'm impressed and I love those crackers.
What a nice event-good companions, and delicious treats. A wonderful start for an evening! Thank you!
Aldi (a German supermarket chain), is a big favourite here in England. They sell a wonderful range of delicious, quality cheeses, cooked meats, bread and crackers at bargain prices. Lovely jars of chutney and preserves too, and of course all the fruit, veg and usual groceries you would expect.
Why spend four times as much at a posh deli - once you've taken it out of the packaging and arranged it prettily to serve guests, as Kevin did here, no one has a clue what it cost!
We have Aldi’s here in Illinois. Thanks for the nice video!
Thank you. Your garden is so beautiful. I think one of the reasons why everyone finds your videos so captivating is that it reminds us of how life use to be. Esthetics , kindness & friendships were very much a part of our lives. Not so much anymore but here , we get to live that❤❤❤❤❤
No, let it not remind you of past times. Do it now! I’m in my 70s and still entertain, particularly like this as it’s not hard work. In fact it’s a pleasure. I’ve entertained for nearly 60 years and still not tired of it. And entertaining in this way it’s not expensive nor time consuming, and we all enjoy it so much. Give it a whirl . 🥂🍱🍷🍹
🇨🇦Oh Kevin, your vlogs are like an oasis in the desert to me. They are such a calm, elegant , civilized world of friends, love and laughter. It is lovely to get away from the world of hate that is happening now. ❤️ I am going to use your ideas for the charcuterie board this new years.
Hi Kevin…Thank you for always keeping things so real! Who would have thought that one can put together an elegant charcuterie board on a budget! 😊 I always enjoy the tour of homes / landscape on your travels away from home. Also enjoy the beverages / drinks that you serve and their unique combinations…I’m always at a loss for that when entertaining friends…Thank you for the help!
I love it when you show you and your friends enjoying the party at the end of the video.
Such a super idea for a hot summer afternoon with friend's ! So very easy to do & everyone loves it ! Thank you again Kevin! I will be serving this at our cottage next weekend!
Gorgeous, Kevin - so simple yet so beautifully artistic and delicious, thank you! Your garden is exquisite :)
Dear Kevin, what a beautiful neighbourhood , the houses are so pretty. Thank you for the wonderful welcome and for sharing the ideas for the charcuterie board, as usual the garden and flowers look amazing . Much love x
So many good treats can be found at Aldi. Thanks for showing that.
What a superb idea, practically fuss free and so inviting. ❤thank you Kevin. You’re a treasure.
We feel you do what you love to do! Wonderful lessons you bring to us!
How lovely Kevin! It brings me back to the elegance of living! Bless you. 😊
I never get tired of your videos. You do a lot the same way I do it.
🌹 Thanks for showing us the beautiful historical city of Hudson !! My fifteen year old grandson is named Hudson !! My sister lives in Hudson, Wisconsin !! Your board of delights looks so TASTY !! 🇺🇸 Happy July 4 th to you and your family and subscribers !! From California ! 🎆
Kevin - I love your home and your gracious welcoming of all of us as you share your recipes and ideas.
A calm and soothing trip into yesteryear is what your videos make me feel. What a lovely scenario you provide. Thank you!
The charcuterie board looked so beautiful with amazing textures and colours to entice the taste buds !! What a warm and generous host you are Kevin . Certainly an inspiration to anyone who plans to entertain loved ones . Thankyou ....just Gorgeous !
Your charcuterie board looks delightful. Your selection is very appetizing and beautifully presented. Averi is such a good girl, my pup would have jumped on the table and gorged himself.
Oh Mr. Kevin! This looks so divine! Shopping at Aldi's and making charcuterie boards are two of my many favorite things. You went over the top on this one. Ms. Victoria, Mr. Fox and Ms. Lizeth are all very fortunate to be in your circle of friends to be able to enjoy your company and sweet and savory victuals. Thank you for sharing you day with us. Take care and be safe! 😊💖🙏
What a great charcuterie board. The presentation outside is beautiful! Ina Garten would be jealous. 😊
I see there's both engineer and artist in you - a wonderful table you've set for us. That dog of yours is a love!
This is hands down the best video on RUclips on how to create a beautiful charcuterie board. I’m glad you added the wooden skewers too. Since Covid, I’ve learned there are people who still sneeze and cough into their bare hands. 😮 So, it’s great to place the wooden skewers and you can also add frilly, colorful topped toothpicks in a small cordial glass next to the board. This video is fantastic. Kevin, I wish you were my neighbor.
Aldi’s is great for cheeses and meats! Your charcuterie board looks beautiful and delicious, I think Avery agrees❤
Several ideas to enhance the appearance of charcuterie board. I liked how all the cheeses were cut,/displayed differently. The grape idea was excellent.
Oh Kevin...you have made the unattainable attainable in my mind! Such a beautiful job you have made putting together your Charcuterie board! Thank you so much for your enchanting video.
What a treat to have two new videos this week! Love charcuterie boards and yours is awesome! Your videos are always a delight to watch and much, much appreciated!
Loved this video Kevin. The charcuterie board was beautiful and had so many of my favorites displayed and a few new ideas too. I feel inspired to create one now. Cheers! 🥂🧀🍇
This will come in handy for my “Ladies Who Lunch” this week!
Avery loves her daddy!
Hello, Kevin! Good morning! I was just watching a beautiful mix of all your videos when the notification for this one popped up! Have a nice day!
Kevin, your guest and Will enjoyed the food immensely. Thank you for sharing.
Love your video’s Kevin. Hudson looks like a nice place to live. Your food looks fantastic! ❤❤❤
What a treat...I had just finished working in my garden ...came in after cleaning up and got to go on a trip with you...and share in a Charcuterie with you and your friend. Perfect end to my busy afternoon...thank you Kevin 😊
Beautiful presentation as always Kevin! That board looked so inviting. Everything you do is lovely! XOXO
Love this idea especially for the hot summer months! Thank you for sharing. You are such a wonderful host. ❤️to Avery🐶💐
What a lovely charcuterie board Kevin! I'm never sure about how to make one of these. Now I know how to put one together. Maybe I'll bring one to Forth of July cocktails this week. I could stick some of those little American flag toothpicks in to decorate. Beverage selection is on point. One of my favorite red wines, and of course the freezing cold bottle of Bombay gin. I noticed Avery eyeballing the charcuterie board full of potential dog treats. My dog George may well have helped himself while you turned your back to greet your guest arriving. The beauty of the charcuterie board is that you could just serve that for a party or get together. You wouldn't really need to make anything else. Is there such a thing as a desert charcuterie board? I wonder what that would look like? Fruit, chocolate, miniature cookies? Anyway, thank you for sharing with us how to do this. I'm always inspired after watching your videos. I appreciate. Take care. Happy Forth of July! ♥️🇺🇸🎇🗽🎆🐕🍸🥖🍷🧀🎉
Havarti cheese is delicious. My little pleasure after a hard day at work is picking up a pack of it and some whole wheat crackers from Aldi and having a yummy dinner.
So lovely! Thank you for showing us that entertaining can be very affordable! Such a luxury now that we can have social gatherings again! ❤🎉😊
Kevin, no, thanks you my dear! How lovely! You make me happy!
Blessings 🌼
The board looked wonderfully mouth watering, set on a beautiful table in such a lovely area!
Thank you for showing how to arrange a charcuterie board and using your outdoor area a lot while the weather is good. Please show some summer lunch entertaining menus. Love to see more of Binky. Enjoy your summer Kevin.
Love seeing your beautiful garden and reminiscing on Hudson where we lived for 16 years in Livingston .. sure miss it ! Thanks for sharing
Thanks Kevin! Wonderful as always! And who doesn’t love Aldi? Our community is fortunate to have one for over 25 years!
What a great presentation on the charcuterie! All wonderful cheeses. I have tried an aged gouda that is delicious. Happy Sunday and a wonderful week to you, Mr. Kevin
I’ve been adding a smoked Gouda as well.
Absolutely beautiful!
Thank you for such a perfect Charcuterie. I have never felt confident putting this together for entertaining friends. This has explained exactly how to do it!!
I just giggle when watching you the charcuterie board was a work of art 😀
Such great tips! Especially the grape tip! Seems so simple yet I've never thought of it. I didn't know there was such an art to arranging a charcuterie board. How very lovely and festive. 🍸🧀🥖🍇
I love to make charcuterie boards, have some gorgeous boards. Love your ideas and your presentation. Thank you for sharing!
Kevin, you've just made me very hungry! Everything looks so appetizing. A charcuterie board is the perfect way to entertain guests on a fine and casual summer day!
Yum! ❤🎉
Such a lovely tutorial . Thank you . I like the tip on how to display the cut cheese alternating the positions of the slices.
So happy your topic today was charcuterie boards. I’ve been wanting to learn. Thank you ❤️
What a lovely time. I love the atmosphere that you bring to all your meals, large or small. You always make things elegant, while keeping it warm and comfortable. I love seeing you entertaining with people (besides us) Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home, breathtaking grounds and your captivating life with us. May God bless you and yours. Please take care. Bye for now.
Oh my goodness, those buildings are truly breathtaking. I loved 🥰 seeing this incorporated into your video, I hope we get to see more beautiful architecture when you leave the home again.
Thanks 🙏 Kevin. ❤️Jodie🇦🇺
Just lovely. I hope this encourages people to have an easy and enjoyable get-together with a friend. Thanks, Kevin!
Thank you for the tips to making such a well put together charcuterie board. I love your ideas and the way take your time to explain things. Like the lemon juice idea for the sliced apples ! Really enjoy all your videos 🤗🙏💕
Simply elegant. Was wondering how many people this would serve. Three sounds abundantly fine. Must have been a lovely party.
Kevin, what a beautiful place is Hudson. The road to get there from your home is gorgeous.
I Love Charcuterie Boards. I always bring one for Thanksgiving. Very wonderful table and presentation Kevin. Thank for sharing. See you next video.
I've always used a cutting board, but I LOVE the paella pan idea, especially when taking to a picnic in the park! Love the Manchego display. That looks so lovely and elegant! I'm a BIG copycat and will be serving this up at our next concert in the park for my husband and friends! I am such a martini girl, too and would join you...Salute! Thank you for these great ideas!
Just beautiful! Favorite video so far on charcuterie! Love the garden, too and overall presentation!
Hi Kevin, I found you when I was searching for information about propagating boxwood. Thanks for that info! I can't believe I haven't come across your wonderful world before. Oh well, better late than never! I signed up for your newsletter and look forward to enjoying your pleasant vibe and learning all sorts of things to enhance my life and home - great charcuterie board! I find your laid-back enthusiasm for life and beauty a tonic for our times. Thanks for sharing, Kevin. All the best! 🙂
Kevin, this video of you assembling a Charcuterie Board was so relaxing and inspiring to watch. You make it all look so easy and I love the way you artistically display everything...I am sure your friends look forward to your lovely gatherings. Thank you for sharing.
Oh my goodness Kevin, I was hoping youd get to Aldi's for your charcuterie board. They have the most amazing food to dazzle guests and stay on budget. Beautiful board, lovely selection ❤
This was a beautiful charcuterie board. Just lovely.
FANTASTIC VIDEO!!! THANK YOU! I cannot wait to create my first charcuterie board as part of our pre- Thanksgiving feast. THANKS TO YOU, I have the confidence to create an elegant and delicious board! WOOT! WOOT! WOOT!
Once again I am inspired to travel and explore the Eastern seaboard. Spend my summer up North with a slow Southern pace. Blessings and thanks Kevin.🐈🐾🎶

Loved your video, so relaxing. Beautiful charcuterie, board and gorgeous property. Thank you!
I love your videos. ♥️♥️♥️music is so calming and the recipes you make are awesome. You give us great ideas ❤️
What a perfect Friday ~ anyone would be very lucky to call you friend. Have a great weekend!
I'm glad you mentioned Mr. Fox. I've been wondering about him.
Absolutely lovely! And, of course, as always....inspiring.
In fact I will prepare a charcuterie board myself for my dear friends...thank you so much dearest friend! Love ya!❤💋
Your gorgeous heavy charcuterie board looks full and plentiful... we eat with our eyes first! I love doing boards. I like to half dip my dried apricots in dark chocolate .... like dipped strawberries. I also love toasting the baguette like you. I do some with plain olive oil, some with a little drizzle of pesto spread, and some with sun dried tomato oil. Love all your serving pieces in silver and blue and white. Absolutely charming.
It looks delicious and beautiful!! Your weather looks perfect too. I'm sure you all had a great time. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, Kevin that was a wonderful episode! Inspiring me to make one!
You are the sweet Mr Rogers of entertaining and I adore your videos ❤️
Such lovely ideas for composing the board! Thank you, Kevin!😊
Such good ideas on how to lay out the cheese as well as the small bunches of grapes . Why did I never know this? 😂.
This is one of my favourites, as we are in Summer Salad days here in the UK. I watched it over and over every day for about a week after Kevin uploaded it! It's interesting to know you have Aldi in the US! Thank you Kevin for this delicious demonstration! It makes me hungry every time I watch this one! 😋
Love it! We have just purchased an amazing large round handmade charcuterie board and I’m going to steal your delicious goodies and layout. Thank you for sharing ❤
We love Aldi and Trader Joe’s to make our charcuterie boards!!❤ yours looks wonderful
Just sent this to my my sisters! They are having a ‘ GIRLS DAY IN’.
Mondays they have a senior group. They are so exited about this new channel!
FINALLY! At least a hint as to how to eat from a Charcuterie board properly. No other video goes beyond preparation ... thanks😊
To absolute gush! This table is so appetizing to the 100th power!
I love rewatching KLJ’s videos…just binge worthy!
Love your tips for creating an appetizing and beautiful charcuterie board! I also love that you placed the crackers separately for gluten intolerant/celiac guests, and also that the almonds were only in one part of the board for those who have severe nut allergies. Good advice when serving a large crowd, since so many people have these types of medical needs. Makes for an easier time to be social without creating a "scene" and asking if there are gluten or nut allergen options. Thank you! I so enjoy your relaxing presentations and watch for your daily posts.
I love making, and eating, a charcuterie board. Such a beautiful, festive, fun & relatively easy thing to prepare and it always seems so special. I loved watching you make yours. And loved learning the proper pronunciation of 'gouda.' Love you!
Absolutely! Aldi is wonderful - they have an excellent baguette as well!
Just gorgeous. You are an artist in everything you do!
This was great! I loved watching you arrange everything, and I’m also glad that you filmed a portion of Hudson. Thanks for sharing!
I love the thumbnail pic! Kevin is full of life and a very gracious host! ❤ Thank you for showing us the city of Hudson. The houses are beautiful!
All I can say is Mr Fox is one lucky man 💕
Ouuuuuuu! Thank you for showing me how to do this! It’s lovely. I think I tried to put too much on mine! Yours is way more inviting!, ❤ the gardens are breathtaking!! This is like living in France, only in up state NY!
