Chicken Curry Tea Sandwiches

PollyDecember 22, 2018July 18, 2025

Chicken Curry finger sandwiches have been a staple at my English Teas for decades. I don’t remember where I found the recipe, but it’s a keeper, and the curry mixture keeps well for a few days covered in the refrigerator.…

British Pork Pie

PollyMarch 13, 2018August 5, 2025

Finally!  A Pork Pie recipe that is pretty darn good and not that hard to produce! My Dad, a traditional Yorkshire-man, loved pork pies. I really, really wish he were still here to taste my version. To my mind, this…

Italian Wedding Soup

PollyFebruary 24, 2017August 28, 2025

Italian Wedding Soup is easy to make, and is good as soon as it’s made—no need to sit overnight to intensify the flavors! Not being Italian, I can’t claim this is just like my Nonna made, nor can I claim…

Curried Chicken Meatballs with Apricot Rice Pilaf

PollyJuly 24, 2014July 10, 2025

This recipe is from one of America’s Test Kitchen 30-minute Meals cookbooks.  The meatballs, although very simple with a very plain list of ingredients, are quite tasty. I wanted to up the curry powder just a bit, but my offspring vetoed that…

I had never, ever heard of kipferls before. Then, in two weeks they came into my life twice! First, my friend Priscilla made some in the Culinary School Pastry Arts program she is enrolled in. I didn’t try one because…

As many of you know, I can’t be left in a room with a Rice Krispie Treat, or as my #1 grandson calls them, Rice Christmas Treats 🙂 Unfortunately, now he can’t be left alone in a room with a…

Every once in awhile you run across a recipe that changes everything!  This is one of those recipes.  Cooking salmon in the microwave, with veggies.  How simple is that? How convenient is that? This main dish is simple, delicious  and…

Whooooa Nelly!  Crab and Brie Macaroni and Cheese?  Over-the-top decadence in a comfort food?  YEP! And the decadence makes the comfort food even more comforting—like ‘died and gone to heaven’ comforting!  Yet another winning recipe from the Better Homes and…

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!
