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…

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…

It’s just garlic bread, folks, but it’s garlic bread with an upgrade! There are tomatoes, mozzarella and basil! After running across this recipe at Two Peas and their Pod,  I decided I needed to make it—now! I quickly sent texts to a few friends…

When asked what his favorite kind of pie is, my son always answered, “Meat!” and then gets those raised eyebrow, are-you-kidding-me looks from Americans not familiar with Great British cooking 🙂 Meat pies are one of the delicious cornerstones of…

Did the name of the recipe entice you click on this?! Well then, that makes us friends forever! When my friends from Southern France were staying with us, they offered to make a side dish for dinner.  They didn’t use a recipe. They…

Chicken Pot Pie

This is a pretty simple Chicken Pot Pie.  Absolute comfort food!  No spices other than salt and pepper, so the true taste of sauteed chicken and fresh veggies shine whilst snuggled up in a smooth gravy and encased in pastry.  Yummmm!…

Bread baking is my Everest—meaning I haven’t conquered it yet! I’m not even at base camp so the bread recipes that appeal to me are easy and pretty much foolproof 🙂  Here’s one of my favorites! The recipe is so…

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!
