French Onion Soup

PollyOctober 24, 2010February 5, 2026

As a newlywed, and married to a man who owned a copy of Mastering the Art of French Cooking, French Onion Soup was one of the first things I learned how to make well—thank you, Julia Child—and one of the…

PollyJune 2, 2010February 5, 2026

This soup is delicious, hearty, and very, very easy to pull together, so it’s a staple around here. Everyone likes it. You could leave out the chicken, I often do now (I seem to want to eat less meat as…

20-Minute Coconut-Lime Shrimp Bisque

PollyFebruary 24, 2010February 5, 2026

This soup is wonderful, one of my favorites. It can be on the table in less than 20 minutes, if you have all the ingredients, and it tastes d-i-v-i-n-e. My 15 month old grandson slurped up his bowl and then…

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!
