Rhubarb and Dahlias with Sarah Raven & Arthur Parkinson - Episode 6

One of the key players in a colour-packed garden, and a true love of Sarah and Arthur’s, is the beautiful dahlia. With the low maintenance of a perennial and the growth of cut and come again flowers, it’s no wonder there’s barely a patch at Perch Hill that isn’t decorated with a ‘stained glass carpet’ of dahlias.

Gracing your kitchen table this week, ‘grow, cook, eat, arrange’ covers rhubarb, a vegetable Arthur would consider right at home in a Beatrix Potter novel. Sarah shares her tasty Syllabub recipe, with some advice on growing rhubarb in a forcer for maximum sweetness.

In this episode, discover…

• Using forcers to grow sweeter rhubarb for your cooking
• Sarah’s delicious Syllabub recipe
• How best to harvest rhubarb in candlelight
• Rhubarb’s cultural importance on the West Coast of Scotland
• The origins of Sarah and Arthur’s love affair with dahlias
