Chocolate-Cherry Brownies (for Grown Ups!)

PollyJuly 24, 2025July 24, 2025

Soak dried cherries in port, then add them to the batter of these brownies for a tasty departure from the every-day, kid-favorite brownie! I love the unexpected flavor zing from the dried cherries 🙂 This is a cake-like brownie, usually…

Apricot Cream Scones

PollyJuly 22, 2025July 30, 2025

This is my all-time favorite American-style scone—no butter or jam needed! The chopped white chocolate and diced apricots provide plenty of sweetness, and there’s no butter in this recipe, but there’s plenty of cream! The original version of this recipe…

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…

Chocolate Zucchini Cake

PollyJuly 7, 2024August 28, 2025

Hannah says it’s the best chocolate cake she’s tasted—I think that’s stretching it a bit. But this cake is quite moist, very tasty and somewhat good for you, as cake goes, with the 2 cups of zucchini, some applesauce in…

All the stars! My favorite cake! I ask for it every year on my birthday 🙂 Rich and moist chocolate cake, a mocha-chocolate filling, and a latte frosting.  The recipe for this cake is by Ina Garten which was featured…

Triple Chocolate Mousse Torte

PollyNovember 15, 2023July 15, 2025

This is the cake I wanted for my birthday this year and it’s what a friend requested for her birthday a few months ago. It’s a fabulous trifecta of chocolate: semi sweet chocolate in a brownie-like cake on the bottom,…

Pumpkin-Chocolate Cake

PollyOctober 25, 2023September 16, 2025

This is the BEST cake to serve at this time of year (or any other time of the year, actually)!  It’s a good chocolate cake – a very, very good chocolate cake; it’s moist, and nicely chocolate-y, and made richer with some pumpkin…

Lemon Cream Ice Cream

PollyJune 1, 2023August 28, 2025

Bet you’ve never had Lemon Ice Cream . . .  Not lemon sorbet, or lemon sherbet, or lemon granita or lemon frozen yogurt, but real lemon ice cream—creamy, rich, sweet, intense lemon ice cream. Intrigued? Tempted? I hope so, because I have…

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!
