Cookbook general

These 100 recipes will transport you to a breezy beach day, from sunrise breakfasts to celebrating under the stars, from the beloved Malibu Farm restaurant chef and owner.

Malibu Farm Sunrise to Sunset captures the carefree vibe of a beachside vacation with its simple and healthy farm-to-table recipes and gorgeous photography showcasing the changing light throughout a perfect Southern California day. This book brings laidback beachy vibes to your kitchen, making it easy to start the day with Surfers' Huevos Rancheros, lounge at midday with fika ("coffee break," in Sweden) snacks like Pumpkin Chocolate Bread Pudding, and linger over magic hour meals like Spaghetti Squash Lasagna. 
 
It's an ode to unfussy home cooking from an author who truly gets it; Malibu Farm's path to success is rooted in Helene's completely self-taught skill and her simple Swedish sensibility. And in essays interspersed throughout the book, Helene shares her memories from growing up in Sweden, insights from the restaurant, and the joys of a life by the water. With doable and nourishing recipes like Avocado Pizza with Serrano and Ricotta 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 any day, no matter where you are.
