  Oven-Roasted Asparagus

  Blistered at the tips, snappy in the middle, and slicked with olive oil, garlic, and a squeeze of lemon, this is asparagus at its best in under 20 minutes. A screaming-hot oven and a single sheet pan do all the work.

  Fresh Rhubarb Pie

  This fresh rhubarb pie packs tart, ruby-pink stalks into a buttery double crust, with just enough sugar and cornstarch to turn their juices into a glossy, sliceable filling. A quick freeze before baking keeps the pastry flaky and shatter-crisp, while a full cool lets the center set so every wedge holds its shape. It's the honest, old-fashioned spring pie: bright, jammy, and not too sweet.

  Rhubarb Cake

  This is a classic German Rhabarberkuchen: a tender, buttery vanilla sponge (Rührteig) baked with a thick layer of tart rhubarb pressed into the top. The fruit keeps the crumb moist while its sharpness cuts the sweet batter, and because the pieces sit on the surface rather than folded in, they stay juicy and jewel-bright instead of sinking. It is the kind of unfussy spring cake you slice for afternoon coffee and finish the same day.

  Strawberry Rhubarb Jam

  Sweet strawberries and puckery rhubarb collapse into a jewel-red jam with a soft, spoonable set — no boxed pectin required, because rhubarb carries plenty of its own and lemon juice switches it on. A short maceration draws the juices out first, so the fruit boils hard and fast in a wide pot and the flavor stays bright and tangy instead of turning caramel-dark.

  Carrot Cake

  A two-layer American carrot cake that stays deeply moist for days, spiced with cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg and finished with a tangy cream cheese frosting. Oil instead of butter keeps the crumb soft even straight from the fridge, and finely grating the carrots lets them melt into the batter so every bite is tender, never stringy. It mixes in one bowl with a whisk — no creaming, no fuss.

  Rhubarb Muffins

  Tender buttermilk muffins studded with pockets of tart, jammy rhubarb and finished with a crackly cinnamon-sugar top. The tang of the buttermilk plays up rhubarb's brightness, while brown sugar and oil keep the crumb moist for days. Tossing the diced rhubarb in a spoonful of flour keeps the fruit suspended in the batter instead of sinking, so every bite gets its share.
