Parisian markets are known for their simple elegance. While the more touristed markets are filled with crêpes and pomme frite stands, the locals know how to track down fresh ingredients to create tasty concoctions like this Charcuterie Platter.

Serves 6–8

Prep time: 15 minutes

There is no wrong way to assemble this platter, but it should be served on a large wooden cutting board. It’s best to offer one soft (Brie), one blue (Roquefort), and one hard (Morbier) cheese alongside the meats. Place the grapes and figs in the middle and surround them with the dried meats and cheeses. Scatter the candied pecans, cornichons, and sliced baguette along the outside.

Place both a cheese and meat knife alongside so guests can take their desired portion.
