Our Founder

Merry Masson’s passion for cooking began in college while working in various restaurants in NYC. She adored the hustle bustle of the kitchen, the aromas of the exquisite cuisine, and the joy on people’s faces as they indulged in something divine.

Merry, with a background in graphic design, discovered that food, much like art, had the ability to evoke intense passion and emotion. There began her love affair with food. She happily catered all family gatherings and began cooking privately on the North Shore of Long Island.

Merry, also a certified yoga and meditation instructor, has been creating charcuterie for years. Her passion for art, food, and meditation culminated in the birth of Made by Merry, where guests are invited to tune in to build their own cracker topped delicacy. An act in food meditation and a practice in mindfulness, her boards transport you to the present moment, for a deeper and richer dining experience.

Merry has designed her charcuterie boards to reflect her passion for fine dining, art, and architectural design. Her genuine wood boards featuring the finest delicacies conjure up the elegant atmosphere found in the best restaurants while echoing her philosophy that a casual gathering of friends and family can be greatly enhanced by the presence of mind and the food that is served. Come see for yourself how Merry’s boards transport you and your guests to a dining experience unlike no other.
