Have you ever cooked with rhubarb? I haven't, ever, I haven't even tried it. But after seeing all these beauties over at Martha Stewart, I am very very tempted. Love the color and the texture seems divine, I wonder though... what do they taste like??
Any recommended recipes?
Not even joking, but this is the 4th rhubarb post I;'ve seen today. crazy!!

I love rhubard. It can be quite sharp, but if you add just the right amount of sugar, it's delicious! My fav pudding is rhubard crumble. Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteI have never tried it, I definitely need to.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend Helena!
My Dad loves rhubarb so perhaps I will go over to Martha Stewart or epicurious and pick a recipe so that I can make his day.
ReplyDeleteActually isn't rhubarb big in the UK? I think that is where my Dad picked up his love for rhubarb pie.
Have a fabulous weekend!

Such a treat! These look great!
ReplyDeletelooks good but I have some trauma's from my childhood and haven't touched it since!
ReplyDeleteI never have! It intimidates me for some reason :)
ReplyDeleteI love strawberry rhubarb pie! At my grandma's old house, when I was young, we used to pick fresh rhubarb- so good. Happy weekend!

Summer just isn't quite summer without rhubarb!!
ReplyDeletelooks delicious!! what is that one on the bottom left?? i don't think i've actually ever had rhubarb alone...
ReplyDeleteI've always been intrigued by rhubarb, but never cooked with it!
ReplyDeleteIt is the prettiest color, though it can bitter. Have a lovely weekend dear!
ReplyDeleteI was just talking about rhubarb yesterday and asking people for recipes! I'll let you know if I find any.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend, sweetie! xoxo
Rhubarb with pineapple is delish in a cobbler or pie. A good combination of sweet and tart!

rhubarb is sooo yummy! when we were living in britain last year, there was a season in spring where we would buy bundles of rhubarb at the farmer's market every saturday -- we ate it nearly every day!
ReplyDeletethis is the perfect time to try rhubarb - it's in season! try to find rhubarb that is small, short and thin and organic - if it's not force-grown it will be even more delicious! your farmer's market would be a great place!
and this is a yummy recipe, and is so beautifully presented! -

You're right! Everything about it is divine!
ReplyDeleteI have been wondering the same thing...let me know if you try it! Looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteso funny you posted about this because i never have, but i have it in my fridge right now!
ReplyDeleteAquí en Bruselas, venden como habitual el pastel con Rhubarb(es que no sé como se dice en español)y es que no me atrevo... un día lo pruebo!
ReplyDeleteFeliz fin de semana!!

ReplyDeleteSee now Helena, I don't love rhubarb BUT it is so so beautiful that I wish I did!! Maybe one day when my taste buds mature a bit hehe :) love xo
ReplyDelete#1: Rubarb is DIVINE. Especially when mixed with strawberries. I chop both up, toss them with some sugar, fresh squeezed OJ, a bit of orange zest, and a pinch of nutmeg. This can be baked in a pie shell, or baked with an oatmeal/brown sugar topping as strawberry-rhubarb crisp. Yum.
ReplyDelete#2: I noticed your question over at HighHeeledFoot - A while back I posted all about how I love using Command Adhesive doodads as a renter. They are foolproof and work great! http://theborrowedabode.com/2010/03/rental-remedy-hooked-on-command/
I've done a cherry pie with it and it was so yummy :) You should totally give it a try :) Happy Friday sweetie...
ReplyDeleteLove rhubarb! It's such a pretty color. My favorite is rhubarb/strawberry pie. :)
ReplyDeletenever tried.... but all these pictures look so divine! let me know what you find out :)
ReplyDeleteI loooove rhurber-pie!! Here in Sweden we loves rhurber, specialy pie. Rhurber-pie with vanillacream or vanillaice...yummmiee...It´s so Swedish. You must try it.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend/ Christina
I tried a hot rhubarb crisp a few weeks ago and it honestly changed my life. Ridiculously delicious, and rhubarb makes any dessert a stunning color!

umm, YUM!!I want to eat all of these right now
ReplyDeleteI've never tried making it myself, but I have had some yummy rhubarb treats and they certainly are pink and pretty! Happy weekend darling Helena! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI am planning on getting heavy into cooking with rhubarb when I move to England... I'm all about a nice rhubarb crisp. :) Although...I like to mix some berries in for a sweeter kick!
ReplyDeleteI make a killer Strawberry and Rhubarb pie - from the Joy of Cooking. It's awesome. In fact, I am making it tomorrow. And you're in London, right? Have you not had rhubarb and custard hard candies? Head to your nearest corner shop and get some - the loose kind that they weigh out for you. YUMMY! I grew up in England and miss them!
ReplyDeleteok no joke... i had to come back and comment again because i went for a run today and laying in the middle of the sidewalk was a stalk of rhubarb! so weird!!
ReplyDeleterhubarb is heavenly... my friend made a peach and rhubarb pie- such a wonderful twist on 2 separate classics... i grew up eating rhubarb so i also have a sentimental thing goin on as well... xx pam
ReplyDeleteI love rhubarb. I think its a big Northwest thing. We used to have a plant in my backyard growing up in MT, and they are EVERYWHERE here in WA. Funniest thing...I was literally about to go to the farm across the street and buy some strawberries and rhubarb to make my hubby a pie today. Rhubarb is definitely in season so nows the time to try it....way better than hot house.
ReplyDeleteI am going to post my recipe and pictures after I make it (post it early next week) if you want to pop in and see! http://findingmyaloha.blogspot.com
Love rhubarb.
ReplyDeleteSlice rhubarb into 5cm chunks, rinse, put in a saucepan with the little water still stuck on it after you rinsed it, the juice of an orange and a few tablespoons of sugar (you need to counter it's natural sourness).
Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes or until soft (like cooking apples for a pie).
When cooled down this is divine as breakfast with muesli and yoghurt or with ice cream for desset. Yum!
Don't eat the leaves though. They're toxic. Yuk!
yummy- I these these photos would fall under the catergory of food porn- I'm so into food porn.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog- Lovely to 'meet' you!

this is just too much for me, I'm going to pass out. I can't tell you how much I love rhubarb. My mum makes the most amazing pie out of it.
ReplyDeleteit's delicious! i make this coffee cake all the time ... which reminds me, i need to make some!!
