Rhubarb grows like a weed in my garden so I’m always looking for new ways to utilize it, especially in a savory way. We don’t eat a lot of sweets in our house so that eliminates a lot of rhubarb recipes off the bat as this vegetable seems to be treated like a fruit most often in the cooking world.

I’ve enjoyed stretching my culinary curiosity with some new rhubarb recipes the past few years. I’ve especially enjoyed the challenge of creating new flavour profiles and making something a little outside the box.

I had a fresh harvest of rhubarb and family planning to stop by the next day so I saw the opportunity to take the rhubarb to make something new and fun dessert. Topped with fresh strawberries, this mousse cake was a hit with the family.

Rhubarb is always the first vegetable ready in the spring so I love to experiment with it to be more flexible in the kitchen (you can only eat so many strawberry rhubarb pies..) For more fun rhubarb recipes check out some of my previous posts: Rhubarb Season.
