Get cooking with restaurant Malibu Farm

This cookbook is Southern California dreaming at its finest. You can’t help but be transported to the bohemian rhapsody that is Malibu Farm, just at the end of the Malibu Pier overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

Chef-owner Helene Henderson shares the restaurant’s most popular dishes like honey lemon saffron chicken, crispy okra, grilled salad with salsa dressing and others, as well as local tidbits to awaken cool California living in your own home.

Why we like this book
We love Henderson’s warm and personal touch — after all, she first got her start hosting intimate dinners on the grounds of her own home, as well as running her company Lavender Farms Catering LA. Her attention to local and seasonal produce at Malibu Farm Pier Cafe and Restaurant is highlighted in the book with charming veggie dishes and savoury seaside meals. We also couldn’t help but eavesdrop on her lovely stories and experiences as a farmer, caterer, personal chef and restaurant owner in SoCal.
