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…

Blasted Sausages

PollySeptember 5, 2010August 28, 2025

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…

No Pectin Fresh Strawberry Jam

PollyJuly 31, 2010August 4, 2025

We have a strawberry delivery person in our neighborhood. He first knocked on my door pulling strawberries in a rickety Red Flyer wagon—now he drives a fancy van. He used to just bring strawberries. Now he brings strawberries, mangoes and…

Ahi Tuna, grilled, and rare—it’s not just restaurant fare, you know! Costco sells great Ahi Tuna steaks. There’s nothing fishy about this fish! Ahi Tuna is absolutely wonderful, it’s good for you, and it can be on the table in…

Winner number one in the Ice Cream challenge! Toasted Coconut. Mmmm, tropical paradise, sigh. I’m going out later to fetch some mangoes to serve with it. Tonight, I will be dining on toasted coconut ice-cream with fresh mango cubes, in…

Polly’s 3-2-1 Smoothies

PollyJune 3, 2010August 28, 2025

I’m pretty sure I was one of the first people ever to taste a smoothie 🙂 There was a smoothie man on campus at San Diego State University in 1976. He had a blender, fresh pineapple, fresh bananas, and a…

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!
