In the Pink

Rhubarb

Deliciously tart and comforting like a hug, Rhubarb is surely one of the feel-good foods. Just look at it - food this beautiful has got to lift your mood. It tastes fabulous on it's own, simply sweetened with sugar, but complimentary flavours such as orange, ginger, cinnamon or vanilla lift it to divine heights. You can poach it, roast it, serve it with ice cream, custard, Greek yoghurt or under a layer of crumble. There are so many ways to enjoy these fabulous pink sticks!

I love rhubarb - have you tried it in savoury dishes? It's supposed to go well with mackerel though I've never tried it

I've really grown to love rhubarb since living in the UK. Just had some the other day...made a deliciously sweet-tart rhubarb crumble...yum!

Am I the only one who doesn't like rhubarb? I think it's vile.
Great picture, though :-)

:-) I'm sure you're not alone Tinsie! Have you tried it cooked in different ways with different flavours though? If it isn't sweetened enough it can be very tart and if it's over cooked it ends up like unappetising mush!
