Roasted Cauliflower

PollyApril 26, 2010August 28, 2025

In the US, a “good” dinner is a main dish, maybe a veggie, a starch and a green salad.  In England, the norm for a “good” dinner is a main dish, mash and three veggies. I’m English. Three veggies, please! …

You can make marmalade for breakfast! Honest, you can! It’s amazing! I have made orange, lemon and lime marmalade with this recipe—it’s so QUICK! I was very impressed 🙂 I have had better marmalades (hrmm, have I, really?), but they…

20-Minute Coconut-Lime Shrimp Bisque

PollyFebruary 24, 2010February 5, 2026

This soup is wonderful, one of my favorites. It can be on the table in less than 20 minutes, if you have all the ingredients, and it tastes d-i-v-i-n-e. My 15 month old grandson slurped up his bowl and then…

It’s the start of citrus season here in sunny California—let’s all celebrate with a homey, yummy Lemon Bundt Cake! I picked three lemons off my neighbor’s tree—which I have spent 20 years training to grow over my fence—to make this…

Grilled Fish Tacos

PollyFebruary 14, 2010April 26, 2026

I was there when fish tacos migrated across the border from Baja California to San Diego, California—I know what a fish taco should be. And it doesn’t have mango salsa! No salsa at all, in fact. And, never, ever, under…

Polly’s One & Only Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe – 5 Ways!

PollyFebruary 6, 2010March 7, 2026

Here’s my recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookies—it’s the only one I’ve used since 1981!  I haven’t even looked at another chocolate chip cookie recipe since then 🙂 This recipe makes a straight-up chocolate chip cookie; nothing fancy, just pure goodness.…

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!
