I have been in a funk all week—I made two more cakes from that book I was all aglow about last weekend, and I’m no longer glowing šŸ™ First off, I wanted to try the Red Velvet cake recipe; the…

This is a lovely, moistĀ banana cake with a crunchy, cinnamon-y, chocolate chip-y topping. I reduced the amount of sugarĀ in the original recipe from ¾ cup to 2/3 cup and eliminated the streusel layer in the center since theĀ toppingĀ has bothĀ brown sugar…

It’s a one layer cake. Rustic looking. Uneven. No frosting. No filling. But! Fabulous. FAB-YOOO-LICIOUS! The outside is lightly crispy, lightly crunchy, and the inside is soft, creamy, and rich. One tablespoon of flour holds the chocolate, sugar, eggs and…

St. Patrick’s Day! Irish+St. Patrick’s Day=Guinness! This recipe makes two lovely bundt cakes—it can be halved, but why?? One for home, one for the pot-luck, or one for the party and one for the teachers’ break room! I doubt it…

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!
