About the journal
A small, independent British kitchen journal for the people who still cook and grow their own rhubarb.
Rhubarb Recipes is written and edited in the UK by a small group of home cooks and kitchen-gardeners. The journal began in late 2026 as a place to collect recipes and growing notes we had cobbled together over years of margins in cookbooks and scribbles on envelopes.
We publish on a slow schedule, one piece at a time, when it is honest. Our focus is rhubarb: the forced stalks that come out of West Yorkshire from January, the sharper maincrop that fills allotments in May and June, and the preserves, puddings and tray bakes they belong in.
Editorial principles
- We write from our own kitchens and allotments. Where we have tested a method, we say so; where we are repeating settled advice from a horticultural body, we link to it.
- We do not take sponsored content, affiliate links or free products in exchange for coverage. Equipment mentioned by name is equipment we already own.
- We do not run advertising on the site.
- Byline is ‘the Rhubarb Recipes editors’. We are a small team and we would rather you judge a piece on whether it works than on who signed it.
- If we get something wrong, email us. Corrections will be visible on the article itself.
Contact
All editorial and reader post goes to [email protected]. Pitches from writers are welcome through the write-for-us page. We read everything; replies can take up to two weeks when the maincrop is in.
