Rhubarb recipes
It’s always a great moment when rhubarb comes into season in your garden or allotment – usually around late April in the UK. (You’ll find forced rhubarb earlier than this, from late December to March.)
Go far beyond crumble and use rhubarb in tarts, soufflés, compotes and even risotto. You can make a really easy rhubarb cordial, and learn how to make a rhubarb and ginger cocktail, too. So add a pop of pink colour to your cooking with our rhubarb recipes.
