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.
I have never tried Rhubarb before. My mom and grandma used to make all kinds of recipes with it as a kid, but as an adult I’ve never tried it out! Should, these all look amazing!
You definitely should! It’s a really great produce 🙂
You know, I am absolutely obsessed with rhubarb pies and have never tried myself to make anything out of rhubarb. This post has inspired me! So many delicious recipes here!
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!
Oh no! Though I feel the same about okra lol. Hope you change your mind someday, it’s really delicious 🙂
Okay, rhubarb drinks? I love rhubarb so I guess it goes as a drink too! Well played

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.
I love rhubarb baked goods, but I never thought of going rhubarb drinks. I’m definitely going to have to try one of those recipes!
Thanks for including my Rhubarb Pisco Sour! I’m so inspired by all these Spring dishes … now if only the weather would catch up!
My pleasure! It looks amazing 🙂
