Rhubarb has been one of my favorites for ages when it comes to baking. These red and green stalks are just great for all kinds of bakes. The flavor of rhubarb isn’t necessarily something everybody likes, but I really love this sweet and sour combination. With this little “Best of Rhubarb” list I would like to show you all the things you can do with this veggie – besides a simple rhubarb compote and rhubarb cakes there is a lot more deliciousness waiting for you! ;)
I am always very excited when spring arrives because it means rhubarb is about to come back as well. The time has come – my beloved rhubarb is “back in da house” and I can finally use it again in my bakes! Yay! So let’s start with a simple recipe this year – Rhubarb Crumble with Candied Ginger. It’s sooo delicious!
The rhubarb season is coming to an end. Tomorrow is theoretically the last day of the season which means we have to wait almost a whole year until rhubarb is available again. A cruel time. So let’s quickly make a few more rhubarb recipes before it’s too late. This Rhubarb Compote with Vanilla Sauce and Streusel is a great dessert to prepare in advance or even freeze it for later. In case you want to extend the rhubarb season a bit, this is definitely a good option.
I have to admit it publicly: I am a rhubarb fanboy! It’s out now! If you use the “search function” on the blog and type in “rhubarb” you will easily see what I am talking about. I have served quite a lot of rhubarb recipes on this blog already. Everything from easy peasy rhubarb sheet cakes to more complicated layered rhubarb delights. Today’s delicious no-bake cheesecake with biscoff base and roasted rhubarb will extend this collection with another highlight. But be sure – this is not the end yet :P
My first “new” rhubarb recipe this year. I have to admit I’m a little behind when it comes to rhubarb. The small red stalks have been available here for quite some time already, but I didn’t start baking with them right away this year. Somehow I am not in the usual “baking mood” right now. Due to social distancing I have fewer people I can feed with my bakes so everything has gone down a bit ;) Well… but today it happened – I made a delicious Rhubarb Almond Cake and you can enjoy this one here right now… at least visually. If you want to taste it, you have to bake it yourself :P
We are right in the middle of the rhubarb season! If you walk down the rows at the farmers market you basically get those red-green stalks thrown into your face :P Well… almost. So why not collect all of that rhubarb and make something delicious? A rhubarb cake for example? I might have a nice recipe for you in case you wanna do that :P
I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake - for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers - and it seems they like it most of the time ;)
