Love & Best Dishes: Charcuterie Board with Konky's Creative Kitchen

[@PaulaDeen]

What are some of your favorite meats and cheeses to include on a charcuterie board?

[@texasgina]

Soppressata salami, Smoked Gouda, Genoa salami, Brie cheese

[@vanesarobinson1389]

This was inspiring. I was thinking themed boards. Like Irish finger foods/ tex-mex/Asian/ Greek.

[@ginasellers3207]

I always put out a bowl of pimento cheese on mine, I guess it's the country in me. 😂 I was trying to find the recipes for the spreads Melanie had in her ramekins, those looked really good.

[@etonly2277]

I am very fond of bacon jam that is very spicy.

[@EDBailley]

Salami, sliced ham, pepperoni, green olives, crackers, American cheese, provolone cheese

I am so proud of my wife having this opportunity to be able to showcase some of her skills in this video with Paula. We have been together for nearly 22 years and i had no idea what good food was before we met. She has an amazing passion and talent for anything to do with food and I am so happy she finally has a chance to show some of what she can do and get this level of exposure for some of her many culinary talents. Also she said if you knew me that i would probably eat for 3 people naw it was at least 4 people that night I had to have some of everything and seconds for some of them lol I am so proud of her and everything she has done and I hope this helps her grow her passion and her fan base so she can continue with her amazing culinary journey.

[@vickicocosolo2099]

Very talented! You have reason to be proud!!!!👌

[@chyennele1101]

Beautiful and delicious work!

[@arleanepatterson316]

You have always shared your family ,friends and special finds such as Melanie with all who have come to love you. This makes it easy for you to rename your quarantine cooking show...Paula Deens "Love and best dishes". Thanks for always sharing❤

[@MelanieCramer]

Paula, Eddie and the Deen-Team have some amazing followers too!

[@EDBailley]

I love how Melanie did that board, the food looked so delicious and perfectly placed on there. Thank you Eddie for telling Mrs. Paula about her so we could meet her and see her awesome talents.

[@kathyflorcruz552]

It's true you learn something new every day & this board was new to me!

[@MelanieCramer]

That puts a smile on my face! So glad you came over to watch!

[@melissabibby7310]

What a great video, I think Eddie is the most gentle man I have ever seen, his voice alone has a calming effective.

[@MelanieCramer]

Thank you for watching! Eddie is the real life human form of ASMR! :)

[@nic9042]

This is such a beautiful video! The guest is beautiful & sweet! You can tell she's excited and nervous! She handled it better than I would meeting Paula! 😅 and Eddie...how sweet of you to help make this happen!! 😊

[@MelanieCramer]

Hey there - it's me. My fingers are crooked. Too many years of playing musical instruments so I ended up with fingers that are slightly crooked like my sense of humor. I was rubbing them wicked hard! HAHAHAHAHAHA This was actually the most relaxed I have ever been when working with a Celebrity. Miss Paula Deen is my fourth and this was such an absolute pleasure. And of course, seeing Eddie again is always a blessing!

[@ginasellers3207]

That was an impressive charcuterie board, everything presented beautifully and it looks very appetizing. Thank you Melanie, Eddie and Miss Paula.

[@MelanieCramer]

You are so welcome!!! And, I saw your earlier post about wanting recipes for those two spreadables. I am working on posting them soon. They are WICKED easy to make, low-cost, normal ingredients and they are so delicious! My husband loves both but prefers the tuna spread. Im totally into the homemade Boursin myself. So, hang in there while I get the recipes posted!

[@ginasellers3207]

Oh Paula how sweet this young lady is, and knowing Eddy, why wouldn’t she be. It was so adorable how she was clenching her hands speaking to you Paula. Nice to have her join the Paula Dean family, as a cherished friend. Well got to get out side and finish painting lawn chairs lol , love me👳🏻‍♀️😂🙏🙏

My dad used to make this amazing fruit cocktail cake that had coconut in it and either carnation milk or sweetened condensed milk over it. It almost had a spice cake kind of taste to it, it was so amazing. I hate myself for not getting this recipe from his mind before suddenly losing him last December 😢 you don't happen to have a recipe tucked away anywhere like this do you that you could maybe do for us? ❤ Thank you so much....

[@stacey5925]

@@MelanieCramer Beautiful! I remember back in Culinary school, (20+ years ago), six weeks were allotted for just Charcuterie! This was my favorite, as you can be as creative as your imagination takes you. I still have many photos (and memories) of the many boards that the class created! 😄

[@MelanieCramer]

@@stacey5925 The authentic charcuterie, with the meats, the terrines, rillettes, pates, etc - I remember many years ago, trying that and it was absolutely incredible. It is certainly not something that everyone would like but, I was a fan of this pate made with chicken-liver. There was white wine, garlic, herbs, and to this day, I dont recall how it was made but, it was simply divine and rich! I completely agree about the ability to use your imagination and enjoy doing different types of charcuterie. The ideas are endless and it really can be a lot of fun composing a board. I will definitely say, the sky is the limit!
