With doable and nourishing recipes like Avocado Pizza with Ricotta Cream and the Big Apple Salad with Brussels Sprouts, Malibu Farm Sunrise to Sunset encourages you to create memorable meals that make every day a beach day, no matter where you are.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Chef Henderson (Malibu Farm Cookbook) continues her farm-to-table culinary mission of healthy and humble dishes in this appealing new work. Inspired by the bounty of Henderson's organic farm (the "heart and soul" of her cooking) and restaurants in Malibu; New York; Kanagawa, Japan; and beyond, the more than 100 recipes take readers on a "journey... from morning to night." Breakfast standouts include a West Coast twist on huevos rancheros that uses butternut squash, black beans, and feta, and Henderson's coconut berry french toast, which doubles as dessert and is attractively served in a cast-iron skillet. For lunch, a cauliflower "steak" with red and green chimichurri levels up the roasted vegetable, while a beef burger with bacon balsamic onion jam (her Malibu restaurant's top-seller) makes a seductive choice for carnivores. For fika (the "taking of coffee or tea with snacks," inspired by Henderson's Swedish heritage), there's a luscious apple cranberry cake, and vegan cashew coconut cherry ice cream, while a build-your-own tacos recipe using a whole seared fish is ideal for a party. Throughout, vegetable centerpiece dishes, such as spaghetti squash lasagna, abound, as do the author's friendly cooking tips. These unfussy and vibrant recipes are a reminder of the restorative power of wholesome food.
