What exactly is Rhubarb? It sounds interesting, but I’ve never heard of this before.

lovely photo, and what an amazing Rhubarb site! who new you could do that much with rhubarb.

my favourite is to make a Rhubarb compote (for a syllabub dessert or to add to my porridge), but when i make it I strain off the liquid, and use it as the base for a Rhubarb martini. (just add vodka, and garnish with mint). It is probably my favourite cocktail - smooth but with a wonderful viscous texture that sticks to the throat.

a good trick is to add Grenadine when making the compote (for the sugar and the colour).
