Darina Allen: My favourite rhubarb recipes
Rhubarb and Custard Tart: Dash out and buy some Winter rhubarb while the season lasts.
I’ve just had my first rhubarb of the year, a sublime bowl of roast rhubarb drizzled with Jersey pouring cream.
Every year in January and February, I crave the flavour of the first rhubarb after the ‘fruitless’ winter months... Yes, I know that the shops are full of fruit but most apart from beautiful citrus, are under-ripe, out of season fruits from the other side of the world with a fraction of the flavour they have in summer. I certainly can’t be bothered to spend money on strawberries in February.
