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 

The Starving Chef's 

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.

I  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 

Tablescapes Thursday
