Rhubarb recipes

2 ways through a glut of rhubarb, ready April to June. Sides, mains, preserves for the ones you can't eat fast enough.

Rhubarb Fool

The simplest, most elegant rhubarb dessert. Tart rhubarb compote folded through lightly whipped cream into pink-and-white swirls. It's meant to look marbled and imperfect, not uniformly pink. Served in glasses, it's beautiful and takes fifteen minutes to make.

Rhubarb Upside-Down Cake

A buttery, moist almond cake baked over a caramelized rhubarb topping, then flipped to reveal a dramatic pink-and-gold surface. The tart rhubarb against the sweet, fragrant cake is the ideal balance. One of the most beautiful things you can do with spring rhubarb.
