Like a lot of other gardeners, I have a rhubarb plant that is uber-prolific. For the last several years, I've promised myself I was going to do something besides wait til the end of summer and then trash all the by-then-rotting stalks. The Joy of Rhubarb is a perfect answer. I grew up with the idea that rhubarb went into pie, and maybe jam or conserves, and that was all. The author, however, has assembled recipes for rhubarb quick breads, rhubarb chutney, rhubarb salads, rhubarb dessert sauces, and a lot more. So far, I've made 5 recipes from the book - walnut rhubarb chutney, rhubarb ketchup, rhubarb-rasberry jam, rhubarb-orange sauce, and the rhubarb pork chop casserole. The only one I didn't like was the pork chop casserole, because it seemed to be mostly bread crumbs. I'd re-do it using 1/3 the bread crumbs or just skip them. My son loves the rhubarb ketchup (uses it on french fries) and the rhubarb-rasberry jam. The recipes are clear and easy to follow. I'd definitely buy this book again.
