Grilled Fish Tacos

PollyFebruary 14, 2010September 16, 2025

I was there when fish tacos migrated across the border from Baja California to San Diego, California—I know what a fish taco should be. And it doesn’t have mango salsa! No salsa at all, in fact. And, never, ever, under…

PollyJanuary 25, 2010August 18, 2025

I’m from England, and Shepherd’s Pie—a casserole of ground meat, veggies, and mashed potatoes—is my heritage. There’s also Fisherman’s Pie, and I’m guessing you’ve never made that one, so here’s my basic recipe. Feel free to change it up a…

Polly’s Seafood Chowder

PollyJanuary 21, 2010February 5, 2026

It was my turn to host book club tonight. The book was Ahab’s Wife, which I knew we had to discuss over a bowl of chowder and a slice of pie. Not having made Seafood Chowder before, I began a…

About Me

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!
