3 Recipes to Try for St. Patrick’s Day
Pepper was built to celebrate food from around the world. With St. Patrick’s Day approaching, here are some of our favorite Irish recipes on the platform.
But first…what is St. Patrick’s Day?
Also known as the Feast of Saint Patrick, it’s a cultural and religious celebration, held on March 17th, the traditional death date of Saint Patrick, the first patron saint of Ireland.
It commemorates Saint Patrick, the arrival of Christianity in Ireland, and the heritage and culture of the Irish.
Food has become a key part of the celebration, and in honor, we curated 3 of our favorite St. Patrick’s Day recipes currently on Pepper.
