Too Many Tomatoes? Roasted Tomato Sauce!

PollyAugust 12, 2025August 28, 2025

Are you being overrun with homegrown summer tomatoes yet? Then you need to make this sauce! Freeze it, and you’ll have little portions of summer to use as needed in any tomato based dish! After defrosting, the sauce can used…

Coconut Shrimp

PollyAugust 6, 2025August 6, 2025

Coconut Shrimp! Where this sudden obsession came from, I have no idea. I have no warm memories of Red Lobster and their sea captain’s rum enhanced Coconut Shrimp, much less any memories of seaside tiki bars, drinks with tiny umbrellas,…

Grilled Mint Marinated Lamb with Pistachio Pesto

PollyAugust 1, 2025August 28, 2025

Absolutely one of our favorite BBQ dishes! We serve the lamb with a grilled, herby flat bread or homemade pita, and a rice pilaf. There’s no Pistachio Pesto in the photo, unfortunately, but if there were you’d be amazed by…

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!
