Tip for arranging a platter: start with the large items, then begin to layer.

1. Begin by placing the cheeses and Regal smoked salmon fillet on the board.
2. Cut the pear into thin slices. Keep them in order and fan them out to create an interesting look!
3. Arrange the crackers, nuts and dried fruit and pear around the cheese and smoked salmon.
4. Add any extra fresh herbs or seasonings to the salmon.
5. Serve straight away as the pear will start to go brown.
