We’ve almost made it to rhubarb season. Here are a couple of recipes to get you in the mood. The first recipe is from our board member Cathy, who’s a dream of a board member! And just in – Rhubarb Upside Down Cake, from Smitten Kitchen, recommended by our friend Nancy. You can’t have too many rhubarb recipes, we figure.
