From classics desserts like strawberry-rhubarb pie to savory main dishes, plus preserves, relishes, and even drinks, the best-dressed member of your garden shines in ways you never would have dreamed of." --Midwest Book Review "Rhubarb--a quintessential Midwestern vegetable--brings to mind the tart, pink or ruby-red jams, pies and cobblers of early summer. It is so popular for baking that it is sometimes just called the 'pie plant.' In her new Pocket Rhubarb Cookbook (Belt Publishing), Nina Mukerjee Furstenau convincingly argues that the handsome perennial can do a lot more." --Edible Michiana "Furstenau's latest collection of recipes, giving an ode to a single fruit of this earth, feels like something special, foraged while sifting through papers in an old cookie tin. This book will be found, cherished, passed on like memory." --Third Coast Review Biographical Note: Nina Mukerjee Furstenau is a food journalist and writer with interest in food, identity, and culture.
