Shirecuterie - Hobbit Cheese Board


It is time for another of our 
Cookbook Club dinners.

We were trying to 
come up  
with an idea for March 
and I saw 
Lord of the Rings 
Inspired Shirecuterie Board
on Pinterest one day.  
Click on the above link 
to see the great board 
she created.  Her husband 
built the board for her. 
 
I contacted my niece who 
is also a fan of fantasy 
and she told me she could 
3 D print the door. 

She printed it and then 
painted it.  It turned 
out so cool (she even 
made an extra for me!)



We told everyone in the 
group that we wanted to 
create boards based on 
books or movies, 
and that Shaunna 
and I would be doing 
a board together.

We started with her 
door in the center 
of one of my trays. 


For our Lord of the Rings/
Hobbit Board
 we had to have 
Hobbit Feet Cookies made 
out of shortbread and topped 
with shaved chocolate.


My other "must have" was 
Lembas Bread, which I 
made from the other half 
of the shortbread dough and 
wrapped it in banana leaves,
which you can buy online.

It is graced with 
Arowen's Evenstar.


 made Bed Rolls with 
roast beef, cream cheese 
and a pickle wrapped 
inside for nice 
Hobbitses!


Hobbits also love potatoes 
and sausages, so Shaunna 
made these fun skewers.


Gollum even gets a treat 
our board.  These went 
really quickly!  Next time 
I think I will have to have 
more fish!


Frodo and Gandalf are 
just ready to leave the 
Shire on their adventure, 
after Gandalf marked 
Frodo's door. 


There is never enough
meats and cheeses. 
Hobbits are always hungry. 




Shaunna also made some 
glazed root veggies from 
Frodo's garden, while 
Saruman and a troll 
sneak through. 
(Shaunna has a really 
cool chess set with these 
figures.)


Cheese curds fill 
radicchio cups.  
Notice how the Hobbit 
feet circle the board.  
I used my biggest tin 
tray for this.  


The board was a huge hit!


My DIL hosted and it 
was a serve yourself 
buffet.  These plates and 
bowls, cups and flatware 
remind me of the dwarves 
who love gold and dug 
too deep into the Moria. 


The gold veining is perfect. 


My DIL had just picked 
up this fairy house 
which looks like a 
Hobbit house at 
Dollar Tree.  
I need one of these. 


My daughter's niece
 chose Ratatouille.  
We thought hers was so 
adorable with the cutouts 
colored by her 5 year old, 
and the tiny mice. 
She served ratatouille 
over angel hair pasta 
and cheese stuffed 
mushrooms from the 
movie.





She didn't have black 
sesame seeds, so she 
hand picked them out 
of her Everything Bagel 
seasoning mix!  Haha
She had honey to drizzle 
on the top of the mice. 


Another of my nieces 
chose the theme of 
Grease.  
She had hamburgers, 
fries and shakes.  She 
lives a little farther 
so she brought the 
shakes in an 
insulated drink container.  


My DIL did a dessert 
board based on 
Interstellar.  
Notice the moon 
pineapple.  She 
also had a bowl of 
blue popcorn. 


The dip was the dust bowl 
from Interstellar.  
I love how everything else 
was dark and delicious.

Everyone was so creative 
and we had such a 
great time.  We had 
way too much food - 
we should have invited 
the men this time. 

We all look forward 
to trying new food 
and being creative 
with food in our club.  
I think this was my
favorite dinner, 
and definitely our 
most fun. 

Thanks for visiting.

I will be posting with

Chocolat - French for Chocolate. I adored chocolate from a young age when I had to sneak in the cupboard to find where my mother had hidden the Nestle's Chocolate Chips. Having read about the famous chocolat shoppes in Paris, when I finally got there I was determined to try a chocolate from every Paris shoppe. I invite you to share my adventures in creating, in travel, and in life.

  1. How absolutely charming!!! You have an innate quality of scattering smiles like Fairy Dust, and it's always a treat to see your gatherings. We have new neighbors with some little ones, so the beat goes on with a fresh generation to introduce to our favorite books and movies.

    Stay well and warm, Faraway Friend---you're a lovely gift on a frosty day.
