The Simple Life: Malibu Farm Cafe

February 2, 2015

Is Helene Henderson the original earth child? She migrated to LA from Sweden, married American actor/director John Stockwell, and wrote a cookbook (The Swedish Table, in which she says “I was the soul tall, awkward African among a sea of blonde, blue-eyed Swedes. But when I tasted the first potato of the summer it didn’t matter what I looked like, I was Swedish.”). After buying a two-acre organic farm in Malibu, she launched a series of farm-to-table dinners, and, finally, opened a cafe at the very tip of the Malibu Pier.
