Salmon-Spinach Breakfast Roll-up

PollyMarch 18, 2012August 28, 2025

My friend Karin made this for our Cookbook Club’s Snow Holiday.  I ate it the morning she made it, and had it again for the following three mornings…loved it! She learned to make this from her cousin in Germany; she’d…

Sparkling Watermelon Lemonade

Last family BBQ of the season?  I wish I had posted this recipe as a season opener so that we could have had enjoyed this drink throughout the summer, but at least it is posted in time for the last…

Lemon Layer Cake

It was time for my cookbook club’s “Signature Cake” meeting.  A “Signature Cake”, is show-y cake, one that we might become remembered for. A special cake our family and friends might look forward to, or even ask for, on birthdays and special…

Yellow Cake with Chocolate Frosting

PollyJune 17, 2011August 11, 2025

Who doesn’t like yellow cake with chocolate frosting?  It’s a classic!  This recipe and photo is from Cook’s Illustrated. The little editorial near the recipe on page 51 of the Spring 2011 edition of Cook’s said everything I want to…

My daughter recently catered a birthday dinner for a very bubbly, champagne loving girl, and she knew that Champagne Cupcakes had to be on the menu! The good news is that these are great cupcakes not only for a birthday dinner,…

Strawberry Sandwiches

PollyJanuary 31, 2011August 28, 2025

I have never seen a recipe published for this sandwich, but it’s one of my favorites—probably because it’s more like a dessert than a sandwich! I have my demons, and all of them are sweet 🙂 I first encountered this sandwich…

I found this recipe on the Internet this morning, and I ran out to buy some asparagus to try it! Then I hemmed and hawed about posting the link, the recipe, and my pictures. I wasn’t sure the recipe was…

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!
