Season: May to July. Made with the reddish green stalks of main-crop or field rhubarb, this relish is quick and easy, involving much less cooking than a chutney would require. It is light, very fruity, and not too sweet. Delicious with curries, oily fish, chicken, and cheese and in sandwiches, it’s a versatile addition to the larder. Rhubarb, by the way, is very easy to prepare, but do take care to always remove the leaves, as they are poisonous.
Rhubarb is a vegetable, although it is typically used in jams and desserts; its tart flavor makes it the perfect companion for fresh strawberries, or in this case, strawberry ice cream.
This pink-hued cake is filled with rhubarb, which is in season during the spring and early summer. The cake freezes nicely and has a high ratio of fruit to cake—always good in a brunch sweet. Sliced into wedges, this coffee cake is a nice way to round out a seasonal bread basket of fruit muffins.
These simple spring hand-pies are packed to the brim with tangy sweetened rhubarb. Pack them along, cooled, for a picnic or serve them warm with equally tangy buttermilk-lemon granita.
Local rhubarb season overlaps with strawberry season in the Finger Lakes, and that’s enough to fire both the imagination and the grill at Stonecat Café. Culinary wizard Scott Signori slathers this unique sauce over Peter McDonald’s pasture-raised chicken and suggests washing it down with Ithaca Nut Brown Ale.
Easier than pie, faster than cake, rhubarb sauce is the best dessert you can make with those sweet-tart stalks. Here's how to go from stalk to sauce in 30 minutes flat.

Join Chris Morocco as he makes baked lunch nachos. Chris relies on some version of these lunch nachos at least once a week as he brainstorms what to feed his two young kids. It’s worth it to commit the formula to memory: a bag of chips, a can of refried beans, maybe some leftover meat or roasted veg from the night before, shredded cheese, and some kind of quickly cooked, spiced veg like cauliflower or brussels sprouts. It’s a lightning-fast lunch (or dinner) that can be tweaked to suit anyone’s preferences.
