Here are 25 of the best rhubarb recipes to help you take advantage of spring’s favourite produce. Bake it, cook it, drink it, spread it!
Hello spring. Finally.
Though it’s still a little chilly where we are (who am I kidding, it’s always chilly where I am lol), we welcome the longer days and the bright sunshine!
Rhubarb is one of the best things about spring. In fact I read several articles calling it “spring’s darling”. How wonderful! Not everyone is familiar with it though.
When I shared my recipe for Strawberry Rhubarb Galette (it has video!), I had to do a little bit of research to make sure I was handling rhubarb right. Check it out and save yourself some google time. Most important thing to remember: don’t eat the leaves!
Anyway, since rhubarb is available for a very short time, thought we’d get a head start and start planning for all the delicious rhubarb dishes we’re going to make this season.
From desserts to drinks to savoury dishes, this collection has a recipe for all your rhubarb cravings. Enjoy!

I had no idea you could make so many recipes with Rhubarb! I’m eyeing the Rhubarb Champagne and the Strawberry Rhubarb Coconut Milk Popsicle. Both would be great to try this summer.

My wife loves rhubarb, but I’ve never developed a taste for it. It was ‘forced’ on my once as a child and I didn’t like it, so I guess I’ve never wanted to try it again!
Jolina says
Oh no! Though I feel the same about okra lol. Hope you change your mind someday, it’s really delicious 🙂

Hi Trish! Thanks! We are currently living in a sea of boxes 🙂 Rhubarb is tart, so it’s usually paired with strawberries. Hope you get to try it this season.
