We would never speak ill of pie, but there are so many other rhubarb recipes worth trying out this spring. The slender, rosy stalks can be roasted and piled on top of ice cream or yogurt, or cut into matchsticks to add tartness to a crunchy salad. We love a rhubarb cake and a rhubarb compote; we’ll raise a glass to rhubarb cocktails as long as the season lasts. Not sure which stalks to buy or how to store rhubarb once you’ve found some? Jump over to our rhubarb FAQ. Then scroll down to get all of our best rhubarb recipes. (Yes, including pie.)
