Editors’ Top 20
Relish Magazine Editors Jill Melton, Candace Floyd and Stacey Norwood savor the first five years with their top picks.
In the last five years, we've seen many a recipe come and go. They run the gamut from serviceably good to absolutely stellar, and, as food editors, we're always on a quest to find the next great dish. So choosing our favorites to help celebrate our 5th Birthday this year was was no mean feat—we sifted through chicken dishes, tenderloins, pasta bakes, casseroles, international cuisine, classic desserts, baked goods and more, but we managed to narrow it down to just 20. And we don't just write about these dishes, we prepare them at home and we serve them to our families, friends, and guests. We hope you will too.
