Smy Goodness Podcast : Food History & Food Art


May 21, 2018

 

 

 

 

 

This episode looks at where rhubarb came from and how it traveled the world. I look at the changes from how rhubarb was first used by humans to how it is enjoyed today. We'll learn about the etymology of rhubarb, the need for albarelli drug jars and then there's the utterly interesting link between rhubarb and the Zoroastrian creation myth. I'll share why the culinary tradition of Forced Rhubarb fully deserves its PDO status. Go to SmyGoodness.com to see the artworks  I was inspired by including:


Nikolai Astrup, Rubarb


Mary Fedden, Still Life with Rhubarb

  
Elizabeth Johnson, Elizabeth Johnson Art Glass LLC -

I share some of the ways that I use rhubarb in my cookery and preserves, food photography and patterns.
