Be sure to completely remove the leaves (they are toxic) then chop the stalks in medium sized pieces. You can eat these directly (they are very tart), cook them in a pan on the stove with sugar until they are soft, put them inside a pie crust with sugar and bake the pie, etc. They can be mixed with various fruits during cooking/baking (strawberries are common).
I've even been experimenting with using rhubarb in making ice cream. For this purpose after cooking, the rhubarb must be cooled and then passed through a food mill to remove all the fibers (their texture in unpleasant in ice cream).

When do you know if the rhubarb is ready to pick?
Rhubarb is ripe when the stalk is a dark red. If its still mostly green, it's not ready to be picked yet, unless you want it really sour! Actually, there are two types of rhubarb and several varieties of each type. Red rhubarb emerges with a red stalk that is completely red. It's ready to pick whenever you're ready to pick it, and a rhubarb that is constantly harvested will continue to send out new stalks until it gets too cool at night. Green rhubarb emerges green and will never turn completely red, no matter how long you wait. Some varieties will have a reddish base when the stalks get very thick. Both varieties do not get 'sweeter' as the stalks get bigger.
