rhubarb in our kitchen


springtime is very closely connected with rhubarb... i still do not have my own plant close to the house, but i do live together with a professional gardener and she has been bringing home rhubarb fresh from the field. o so yummy...
the strawberries are not local ones, sorry but living in a household with 6 other people beside my own family, i find sometimes veggies and fruit in our kitchen, which i would never consider buying at the moment. never the less this time it tasted great and not even the out of season (we will have local strawberries in just a few more weeks, the grocery store has been carrying spanish berries for at least two months now!)

we all loved the vanilla pudding with rhubarb/strawberry compote o yes it was very delicious. and i'm sure this will happen again and again in the coming weeks. i have a few more rhubarb recipes on the counter, one is a super delicious brown betty, i'm sure there will be more old fashioned desserts to come.
