Today on the podcast I speak with Polly Markus, the creative force behind Miss Polly's Kitchen.
What started as a lockdown hobby in 2020 has quickly evolved into a thriving platform, amassing a community of over 75,000 followers on Instagram and two bestselling cookbooks; Miss Polly's Kitchen and the recently released Seriously Delicious. Through Miss Polly’s Kitchen, Polly has built a loyal community of food lovers who adore her light, colourful, and straightforward recipes.
In this conversation, Polly shares her journey—from her career in commercial real estate to finding her creative spark during lockdown and building a community and brand. We talk about the process behind writing her cookbooks, her insights on building a personal brand, and how she’s navigating the next chapter of Miss Polly’s Kitchen.
I loved this conversation with Polly! She is as warm and vibrant as the food she creates—an open book with an infectious laugh and a genuine love for what she does.
I know you will enjoy my kōrero with Polly as much as I did.
And I’m sure you probably are following her already but if not, head straight over to @miss_pollys_kitchen where you will spend hours scrolling through the most delicious and inspiring food content. And then you can visit Polly’s website at misspollyskitchen.com
