It makes a lot of sense to go for the variety with the thick red stalks - not the scrawny green ones! So it's great to know what to look for.

I have my Mom's book, however, it's in storage and I would like to make the date bread recipe for Christmas. I believe it was combined with the banana bread recipe with a few alterations. It is truly delicious and I thought surely you would have this cook book in your collections.

Ready all the comments on Rhubarb made my gill slits tingle. Every summer I can get home to Alaska, where Rhubarb grows like weeds, I make rhubarb jam for my Mother and daughter. Mom hoards it throughout the winter until I return the next Spring. I have always loved Rhubarb, as many others we enjoyed it with sugar when the first ones popped up, then boiled with sugar for a pudding delight. My children are all grown now, but I made it a tradition to have Rhubarb/Strawberry pie for Easter dinner. My kids still request it as adults and were very disappointed when I couldn't even find frozen Rhubarb this past Easter, which was too early here in VA. I am going to look for your Valentine Rhubarb clumps...perhaps I'll have to order them. When do I plant them...Will they be ready the first year? Thanks for your wonderful recipes. I watch your television show as often as I can. Oh Yummmmm!! Ready all the comments on Rhubarb made my gill slits tingle.

I grew up in Minnesota and most gardens had a rhubarb plant or two. I love anything to do with rhubarb, but what I remember most is always taking a fresh stalk and just dipping it in sugar. I loved the sweet and sour taste combined! I love rhubarb. I grew up in Minnesota and most gardens had a rhubarb plant or two.

Growing up in Wisconsin, we always have an aboundance of rhubarb in our back yards, uniquely, behind our garages. Having a May birthday, the rhubarb was always in season, so instead of asking for my favorite cake, I requested a rhubarb torte. To this day, my mother makes a point to make a torte for me, whether she sees me on my birthday or not. It's a great tradition, and by far my favorite dessert. Dear Martha,

I understand to be "palate friendly" one has to add lots of sugar. I have nothing against sugar and always finding ways and means to add less sugar to desserts. Thank you. giddygastronome.
