Chef Yanelquis Penton is the Head Chef of Malibu Farm, a plant-forward restaurant located on the scenic Malibu Pier off the Pacific Coast Highway in California. In this video, she and Sous Chef John Robin Acuña show us two of their favorite menu items — hearts of palm linguini with plant-based meatballs and their grilled homemade huarache flatbread with ​​avocado, jalapeño ricotta, and spicy hot honey gastrique.
 
Helene Henderson started Malibu Farm by teaching cooking classes, and serving farm dinners out of her home and backyard. Although her business has grown, Malibu Farm is still a locally-owned small business. They strive to provide fresh, farm-to-table food from Southern California. Their food is simply prepared, and uses lots of vegetables and whole grains. They believe there is no such thing as too much lemon. The restaurant offers as much local and small farm produce as they can. Malibu Farm provides the restaurant with eggs, persimmons, figs, lemons, pomegranates, apricots, Asian pears, carrots, beets, asparagus, fresh herbs and more.
