Malibu Farm Cookbook: Recipes from the California Coast
About this product
From the beloved restaurant, a cookbook featuring more than 100 recipes that celebrates fresh produce, meals for sharing, and the beauty of coastal California.
Situated at the end of the pier, Malibu Farm is beloved for its spectacular Pacific Ocean views, the freshly sourced ingredients on its ever-changing menu, and its warm vibe. Chef-owner Helene Henderson opened the space after the once-intimate dinners she hosted on the grounds of her home grew too large.
Now, in Malibu Farm Cookbook, she invites you honor the shoreline and mountains of Southern California with dishes like Ricotta and Pea Frittata, Butterfly Beef Tenderloin with Horseradish, Seared Fava Beans, and Grilled Chocolate Cake with Caramel Sauce. Helene captures the spirit of her own farm with recipes using the morning’s fresh eggs, the catch of the day, the luscious vegetables that grow all around, honey harvested steps from where it’s enjoyed, and olive oil straight from her grove. Punctuated with luscious, vibrant photography, Malibu Farm Cookbook is a stunning sensory experience that transports you right to the edge of the Pacific. Read more
Editor's Take
Amazon reviewers and Goodreads readers describe this cookbook as beautiful, fresh, and approachable, with strong photography and a breezy California-coast feel. Several readers say the recipes are healthy, eclectic, and appealing for people who want lighter food with lots of produce, while a few note that it reads like part cookbook, part lifestyle memoir.
On Goodreads, comments highlight dishes that feel creative and delicious, and one reviewer calls it a cookbook for people who want to eat like a Malibu local. A blog review on Fairyburger says the recipes are simple and rely on fresh ingredients with not too many components, and another blog review says the book includes recipes that are adaptable and well liked after being tried at home.
The main repeated praise is for the presentation, healthy emphasis, and inspiring recipes. The main caveat is that it may appeal more to readers who like coastal, produce-driven cooking than to those seeking very traditional or heavily technical recipes.
