“Hi Jenny, Here’s what I baked today- first time and delicious! I did add a bit more water, proofed for 3 hours and followed all other instructions to a ‘t’! Best wishes, Alexandra.”

– Thank you for these great photos. I would say,”first time and perfect!” That crust is exactly as it should be – perfect! – jennyfast-no-knead-bread

AMINA (fromPoland!) MADE MY NO KNEAD CRUSTY ROLLS

“Greeting from Poland. I have never done bread in my life until today thanks to you.”

– Amina, this makes me so happy! 🙂 I’m so excited to see my recipe in Poland, the home country of my parents. 🇵🇱 And your rolls look perfect. Dziękuję bardzo. I życzę wszystkiego najlepszego. – jenny (Janina)best-crusty-rolls-recipe

DANIEL K. MADE MY POLISH PĄCZKI

“That is a great recipe. I wanted to make some pączki for Fat Thursday/Tuesday after going to Poland in September. I liked that I didn’t need to fry them. That’s one of my gripes about store bought doughnuts is the fried in oil after taste. It doesn’t take too long to make also. I had fun squirting the raspberry jam in them.”

– Your pączki look fantastic and raspberry filling sounds delicious. Thank you for taking time to send your photos! – jennypolish-paczki-jenny-jones

EVE  (from Canada) MADE MY LEMON BROWNIES

“Hi Jenny! I’m from Winnipeg and can’t stop baking lately, probably because of the winter weather…you need sugar energy and we do all weather walking to get exercise! Ha! I made your lemon brownies (did them in a round and got f a n c y lol)…I also added some lime zest…had no low fat yogurt and used buttermilk…we are BLOWN AWAY…so goooood…I must add being part polish…the paczki are next (great detail and great recipe as well). All the best to you from me and my partner Jacques in 2026!”

– Thank you for this great photo. The fresh berries are a great addition and it looks really delicious!  – jennylemon-brownies

DANIEL J. MADE MY POLISH PĄCZKI

“Jenny: I am a type 2 diabetic and you have been so kind and thoughtful in the way you present your videos.   Your healthy alternatives such cooking without butter and substitutions have enabled even me to make a version that’s healthy for even me to enjoy. God bless you and thank you.”

– Daniel, you didn’t specify but I assume by seeing the pastry bag that these are pączki. Thank you so much for your photo! – jennypolish-paczki-donuts

JESSICA MADE MY YELLOW CAKE

“Jenny, I haven’t used a strip yet, but I love this yellow cake recipe and your chocolate frosting recipe.  This is my favorite cake ever and I am so happy to have found a quick and delicious recipe to make for my birthday and any time.  I made it into cupcakes and my students loved them.  I used a water bath and it made them super moist.  I couldn’t find a proper cupcake recipe so I just used your tried and true yellow cake recipe!”

– Jessica, that looks so good! And I agree that chocolate frosting on yellow cake is the best. Thank you for the great photos. – jennyvegan-yellow-cake

I’m Always Learning

Jenny Can Cook Best RecipesThese are just some of the recipes that I have either improved or simplified since they were originally posted. I’m always learning and improving my skills so if anyone is using a recipe that was posted a while ago or if you printed it some time ago, please check the “Recipe Changes/Fixes” category in my blog.

So far I have made changes to about 100 recipes but many of the changes are minor, like increasing salt or reducing sugar but others, like my 15-Minute Veggie Pasta, now use an easier, faster, all-in-one-pan method. I’m always looking for ways to make something healthier or faster or to simplify the process so every time I cook, if I try a better way and it works, I adjust the recipe and share the exact changes I made in the blog.

I encourage all of my regular cooks to occasionally check the “Recipe Changes” category here in my blog to make sure you are using the newest and best version of each recipe. As I evolve as a better (& simpler) cook, I will continue to occasionally update my recipes. To see if any changes were made to your favorite recipes, click here.
