Recipe Collection
elow is a collection of recipes that have been published on Feast & Merriment dating as far back at 2007, when I first started this little blog site.
I want you to know that you can trust these recipes, because I do. In fact, that’s why I started Feast & Merriment. I wanted to place to reference my favorite recipes, whether created by me or by another author, so I could refer back to them and trust them because I enjoyed it enough that I took the time to write about it.
I have tried each one of these recipes over and over and am confident in them. After all, publishing recipes for others to rely on is not something I do lightly.
I am humbled by the fact that everyone from close friends to unknown digital followers turn to me for advise on what to cook and how to do it.
I share this personal reflection with you because I want you to know that you can trust the recipes I have published across this site. They are here for me, and for you. The only thing I ask in return is if you had a great experience with a recipe you found here, please leave a rating and review so others are also inspired to feast!

This dish brings me the greatest joy to make, and to eat. It’s rich, decadent, and has the ability to silence every diner at your table. Indulge just once and you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.

This Apple Crostata is so much easier to make than apple pie and loaded with wonderful, should warming flavors. It’s a quintessential rustic dessert and I just love that.
Ina’s Raspberry Crumble Bars are the perfect combination of savory and sweet and have become one of my favorite recipes to make. I prefer mixed berry jam to raspberry but the results are stunning no matter what jam you choose!
