Cupcake Tin Turkey Pies

PollyAugust 20, 2024December 4, 2025

When asked what his favorite kind of pie is, my son always answered, “Meat!” and then gets those raised eyebrow, are-you-kidding-me looks from Americans not familiar with Great British cooking 🙂 Meat pies are one of the delicious cornerstones of…

Bloomin’ Onion Tear and Share Loaf

PollyJanuary 26, 2024July 17, 2025

You know how you read a recipe and you just KNOW it’s going to be good?  This was one of those recipes—a Sourdough bread round, cheese, butter, green onions and a sprinkling of poppy seeds, baked.  What’s not to like?…

Poached Shrimp for Lots of Things

PollyJuly 17, 2020July 18, 2025

Like tossing into a salad, putting in a tea sandwich with cucumbers, as a retro shrimp cocktail appetizer, or to serve as an appetizer with toothpicks and a favorite sauce or dip 🙂 The recipe and accompanying photo is from…

I am fortunate to live in an area with some remaining cherry orchards. For a few weeks each year these orchards are open for U-Pick cherries.  Seeing as how we are in the midst of a pandemic—80 days of Shelter-In-Place…

I love these! This recipe is one of my very favorite new recipes this year. I have my daughter, Abby, to thank for it. She’s been to a lot of Korean BBQ restaurants (I’ve been to none) and she fell…

Homemade Ranch Dressing

PollyJuly 9, 2019September 3, 2025

I had a rather unfortunate accident with a new immersion blender yesterday.  Ranch dressing EVERYWHERE, and very little left in the bowl.  Ranch dressing on the counter, down the doors, all over me, on the floor, on the backsplash! White…

I know nothing about Filipino cooking, but my daughter organized a ‘Boodle Fight’ for one of our cookbook club meetings—look at all that food! A Boodle Fight is a GREAT idea! It looks impressive, there’s an abundant variety of delicious…

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!
