Drunken Pear Crisp with Cherries

PollySeptember 13, 2010August 28, 2025

Everyone who tried this last night—last night refers to one night in the fall of 2009—loved it, except for me! I didn’t fall in love with it until about an hour ago, when I had a bite of the leftovers—soooo…

Veganized! Banana Chocolate Chip Coffeecake

JocelynSeptember 13, 2010August 3, 2025

This is a lovely, moist banana cake with a crunchy, cinnamon-y, chocolate chip-y topping. I reduced the amount of sugar in the original recipe from ¾ cup to 2/3 cup and eliminated the streusel layer in the center since the topping has both brown sugar…

Zucchini Pasta

PollySeptember 11, 2010August 28, 2025

I have debated back and forth about posting this recipe. Pros: it uses up zucchini, which is very important this time of year! The pasta recipe is good; simple, straightforward, and good. Cons: It’s not GREAT; it’s good, but it’s lacking…

I’ve finally found something that the crockpot excels in—excels in! This is not just a recipe that can be cooked in the crockpot, it’s a recipe that should be cooked in a crockpot! Yes, a recipe that tastes best cooked in…

My friend, Adele, is the queen of Beer Can Chicken. She even tried to teach me how to do it, but I failed miserably. Mine just didn’t have the flavor that hers had. Knowing I was beat, I decided that Adele would…

World Peace Cookies 1.0 and 2.0

Dorrie Greenspan‘s most famous recipe, World Peace Cookies, screams chocolate; yes, screams!  It’s a roll-and-slice dough made with lots of chopped bittersweet chocolate. The texture of the cookie approaches that of shortbread, but it’s not as crumbly. Roll-and-slice cookies are a…

Blasted Sausages

Holy Moly! This recipe delivers in both taste and presentation! The original recipe stated this is a traditional Tuscan harvest dish, but I know I have never run across anything like this before—not that I have ever been to Tuscany…

About Me

polly of the kitchen

It's all about the recipe—really, it is! I have amassed quite a collection of recipes from my favorite cookbooks, food magazines, friends, the Internet, and more recently my adult daughters. I test every recipe I post. Some I've been cooking for years, decades even, and a few I have made only a few times. I don't post mediocre recipes. I don't post good recipes. I post GREAT recipes! When I find a recipe I LOVE, I can't wait to share it. I started In the Kitchen with Polly on January 01, 2010, a joint venture between myself and my non-cooking but most excellent webmaster, proofreader, technical goddess and all-around bestie, ratty (not a joke—ratty is her chosen nickname—her Mama didn’t do that to her, she did it to herself!). Last year we hit a snag—the website went up in monstrous flames. It took a long time to sort out what happened and even longer to recreate what was lost. Hundreds of pictures gone, and every recipe we posted (300+) over the last 14 years had to be reformatted, many pictures retaken. It's done now though, and we are back! I like this brighter version :) Scroll through! Find something you like, and let's get cooking! There’s a search button and there are also tags to click on if you want to find a recipe for a specific food. If you need it, the print button is on the preview page and at the end of each post.

Enjoy!
