Sims’ grazing spreads move beyond just cheese and charcuterie to incorporate seasonal produce, vibrant colors, and uncommon vegetables and fruits. Her forever goal is to make each spread deliciously captivating, inspiring to look at and irresistible to consume. She works in texture, color, flavor and seasonality, always finding alluring combinations that work well for many diets but feel like art. “My not-so-secret agenda is always to fill people up with local vegetables,” Sims says. foodartlove.com FALL TABLE: Party Planning Spread Some Joy With ealthy Grazin
