My 'Best of the Web' for this week is coming directly from Iowa! Teresa, author of Homemade Iowa Life, submitted this fantastic looking recipe for Rhubarb Coffee Cake. And to answer your question, Teresa, being a born and raised Californian, I have yet to try cooking/baking with Rhubarb. But after looking at your delicious photo and recipe, I'm planning on it.....I even went out and bought some to try out. Thank you!
Teresa says, "I found this recipe in an Iowa farm newspaper. Not sure if rhubarb is as popular in California, but Iowans love our backyard rhubarb. Seriously, I bought our house just because it had four rhubarb plants growing in the yard!"
