Here is an unusual recipe from Skye McAlpine but dont be put off. Its from her new book ” A Table Full of Love”. It works best with the long, thin and very pink stems that you get early in the season. And as far as i know there is no shortage of rhubarb in the UK right now.
An easy cake to bake from ” Cook Simple” by Diana Henry. You can use other fruit if you like, for example peaches, pears or apricots. Just be sure the fruit is tender and ripe or it wont cook .
Another favourite pudding from ” Cook Simple” by Diana Henry. You can use any sweet bread or fruit loaf to make the crumbs for this. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
The first of the seasons rhubarb on my allotment is almost ready to pick so I’m sharing a few more favourite recipes for rhubarb. This one is from my local chef and food writer Claire Thomson.
When my allotment yields plenty of rhubarb one of the first things i do is make something alcoholic.This is my go to recipe from Sarah Raven.You can serve as a frozen shot, or as a longer drink with tonic. Cheers!
