We would never speak ill of pie , but there are so many other rhubarb recipes worth making when the slender, tart stalks come into season. You can roast them and spoon them over ice cream, yogurt, or a Cream Cheese Pound Cake , or slice the raw stalks thin to add a tangy, crisp bite to salads. We love a good rhubarb cake and a jammy compote; we’ll raise a glass to rhubarb cocktails all season long. Not sure which stalks to buy or how to store them?
