Strawberry Cheesecake Dip

PollyJuly 22, 2025August 28, 2025

Don’t have time to make a fancy cheesecake or strawberry shortcake for dessert? Make this instead. It’s easy and it’s delicious. I can’t believe I haven’t posted this previously, as I’ve been making this since I was in high school,…

Tropical Pineapple Pie

PollyJuly 20, 2025August 28, 2025

Picture is showing Pineapple Pie with no macadamia nuts, a tragedy of immense proportions. Add the macadamia nuts! I didn’t, obviously, and the disappointed faces and heavy sighs all around the table will remind me not to do that again.…

Pavlova

PollyJuly 3, 2025August 6, 2025

In England, Australia, New Zealand and my house, Pavlova is a very popular dessert.  I am not sure why it’s not only not popular in the US but it’s not even well known!  Pavlova is a quick, light, impressive, and utterly…

Fresh Strawberry Pie

PollyJune 30, 2025August 28, 2025

This is a summertime staple around here, and has been for years. A coworker gave me this recipe back in the 1990s, I believe. A decade or so later, I passed the recipe on to a young, emerging cook, and…

Coconut Mango Cheesecake

PollyJune 29, 2025August 28, 2025

This is one of my favorite cheesecakes! It’s showy and special and tastes wonderful. The method for this cheesecake is different from my usual method, but it works like a dream. I’ve never had this cheesecake crack. The only tricky…

Tropical Fruit Salsa with Cinnamon Tortilla Chips

PollyApril 25, 2025August 28, 2025

The biggest issue with this dish is when to eat it! Is it a dessert? Appetizer? Snack? All three work, but I think the best is a quiet summer afternoon on the porch with a chilled beverage of choice. Tropical…

Chocolate Cookies with a Peanut Butter Surprise!

PollySeptember 14, 2024August 28, 2025

This cookie tastes much, much better than it looks. It also tastes much, much better than it’s list of ingredients. Take a bite; trust me!  There’s a layer of peanut butter inside!  As one of my friends said, one who shall…

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!
