RHUBARB AND CUSTARD KINDA SOUFFLE
This is like a cross between a souffle and a light pudding. A souffle is an old-fashioned classic that I always try to avoid making these days, as I made so many of them when I was at college! Like a good omelette, a souffle is the test of a really good cook - if you don't get your temperature, speed and stages right you can end up with something as flat as a pancake. But now I've come up with a recipe that's so delicious, with such a beautiful flavor and texture, it doesn't really matter if it sinks. My favorite bit is getting everyone to make a hole in the top of their hot souffle and pour in some very cold custard. There's nothing better.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and put in a baking sheet to heat up.
- Put the rhubarb into a saucepan with the 1/3 cup of sugar. Put a lid on the pan and simmer gently for about 10 minutes, until the rhubarb is soft. Put aside and leave to cool completely.
- Get yourself 6 ramekin dishes and rub their insides with the butter. Put the gingersnap cookies into a sandwich bag, tie a knot in the top and smash the cookies with a rolling pin or the bottom of a pan to make quite fine crumbs. Dust the insides of the buttered ramekins with the smashed cookies, then shake out any excess crumbs and keep them for later. (You can put the dishes into the refrigerator at this point until you're ready to put your souffles together.)
- Blob a tablespoon of the cooled stewed rhubarb into each ramekin dish. Mix the rest of the rhubarb with the custard, the egg yolk and the flour. In a large, clean bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until you have soft peaks. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar and whisk on a high speed until the whites are very stiff - this should take about 3 minutes.
- Working gently, fold 2 spoonfuls of the stiff egg whites into the rhubarb mixture. Tip this into the bowl containing the remaining egg whites and fold together very carefully. Divide the mixture between the ramekins and level the tops. Wipe the rims of the dishes clean.
- Remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and place the ramekins on it. Put back into the preheated oven and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the souffles are a lovely golden color and have risen nicely. Serve immediately, sprinkled with your leftover gingersnap crumbs.

RHUBARB SOUFFLE
This light souffle omelette is packed full of juicy, spiced rhubarb and strawberries and is on the table in less than 20 minutes. As an alternative filling I like ti use banana, mango and brown sugar, or pineapple pieces and stem ginger.

Steps:
- Place the rhubarb, orange juice, 3 Tbsp of the caster suage and the mixed spice in a pan and bring to the boil; simmer for 4 minutes until tender and thickened. Sir in the strawberries and set aside.
- Beat the egg yolks and remaining caster sugar until pale, then stir in the orange zest. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff. Fold the egg yolks carefully into the whites.
- Pre heat the grill to medium. Melt the butter in a 23cm frying pan and spoon in the egg mixture so that it covers the base. Cook over a gentle heat for a few minutes until golden underneath and beginning to set, then grill for 1 minute until golden and puffy.
- Slide the souffle onto a serving plate and spoon some of the fruit and sauce over half of it. Fold over and dust liberally with icing sugar. Serve in wedges with extra fruit and a spoonful of creme fraiche.

SPEEDY RHUBARB FOOL
This is such an easy rhubarb fool to make. It only takes 5 minutes to get the fruit stewed and your puff pastry done, and a couple more to put the whole thing together.

Steps:
- Get yourself a small pan and throw in the rhubarb, sugar and orange juice. Put a lid on top, bring to a boil for a couple of minutes, then remove the lid and simmer for a few more minutes until you get a thick compote consistency.
- While the compote is stewing, we'll make some lovely crisp wafers. Sieve the icing sugar and cinnamon onto a clean work surface. Cut 4 slices about 1/2-inch thick off your pastry and place them flat on your dusted work surface. Pop the rest of your pastry in the fridge or freezer for another day. Roll each slice out to 1/4-inch thick, turning it over as you go so it gets covered in the icing sugar mixture. Cut the strips in half diagonally - you'll end up with long, triangular shapes.
- Preheat a large, nonstick frying pan and fry the pastry triangles, in 2 batches, on each side until golden brown. Leave to cool on a rack.
- Mix the yogurt, orange zest and honey together.
- To serve, dollop a spoonful of yogurt into each serving glass, followed by a spoonful of rhubarb compote. Continue layering the yogurt and compote until the glass is full, then stick a puff pastry triangle in the top. Alternatively, layer up the yogurt, rhubarb and pastry triangles on individual plates. Now tuck in!
