"Rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb" was what crowds in a Hollywood movie muttered when stewing about something. Life's Little Rhubarb Cookbook will make you want to stew, too--and cook up rhubarb in dozens of other ways, as well. Besides offering recipes for pies and a host of other old-fashioned desserts, Joan Bestwick shows how to serve rhubarb from breakfast to dinner--before dessert. She offers cinnamony muffins with a dollop of peach and rhubarb filling in the center, easy Rhubarb Chutney to serve with cottage cheese at lunch, refreshing Rhubarb and Lemon Punch sweetened with pineapple juice, and for a midafternoon treat, a "pizza" of rhubarb puree on a flattened pie crust dotted with strawberry "pepperoni," dried black cherry "olives," and a shower of grated white chocolate "cheese."
Famous chefs have paired rhubarb with chicken, fish, and meats in savory dishes. Bestwick proves how well this works in a baked chicken casserole that may inspire you to try rhubarb in other main courses. And, understanding that today time is as precious as calories, Bestwick's dishes generally require around 30 minutes of preparation and call for 5 or less ingredients. The salads in this slim volume are colorful, sparkling, and easy gelatin molds. Set one a buffet table or put it out at a potluck and watch confirmed food snobs find it irresistible. --Dana Jacobi

Easy and Tasty,
By Kristin (Duluth, MN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Life's Little Rhubarb Cookbook: 101 Rhubarb Recipes (Cooking at Its Best from Avery Color Studios) (Paperback)
Rhubarb Jam - Cook 2 quarts chopped rhubarb and and 6 cups sugar until thick. Pour into sterile jars and seal. And that's not even the easiest recipe! Every one I've tried has been just delicious. This is one of those cookbooks that's destined to be dog-eared and splattered.

This review is from: Life's Little Rhubarb Cookbook: 101 Rhubarb Recipes (Cooking at Its Best from Avery Color Studios) (Paperback)
They say 101 Recipes, but too many of them were just a variation of the same recipe. For example, the recipes would be identical except one might have called for strawberries, another one blueberries and the next one raspberries. They called it three recipes whereas I would say one recipe and list the variations. Didn't feel like I was getting 101 recipes. Very disappointed.

A great little book, we didn't know that we could do so many things with rhubarb other than pies or tarts. All we have to do now is wait for our plants to start growing again as we head into summer, and we can try a few other recipes as well.
Cheers Laurie and Lynette
