More than ten years ago, chef Molly Chester and her filmmaker husband left their urban L.A. life to purchase a neglected piece of land northwest of the city in the hopes of creating a more delicious and purposeful life. With a passion for regenerative, biodynamic farming, but a big learning curve to overcome, they threw themselves into the daunting task of revitalizing the land, which had been decimated by drought and pesticides. Today, they have 234 thriving acres of gardens, animal pastures, habitat corridors, and orchards, including their abundant "Fruit Basket” a lush tapestry of landscape that provides seventy-five different varieties of fruit trees. Chester and her husband's gentle, slow, and unconventional approach has inspired other farmers, and was the subject of the 2019 award-winning documentary The Biggest Little Farm.
Their first cook book has enticing dishes, including preserved end-of-summer larder treasures, like Tomato Raisins or a Dried Summer Stone Fruit Medley, comforting dinners like Slow-Roasted Pastured Chicken with Lemon-Fennel Crust or Spring Frittata with Fresh Peas, Arugula, Artichokes, Chevre, and Pesto, and bright, luscious salads like Avocado and Cara Cara Orange Salad with Jalapeno and Sesame-Miso Dressing, these nourishing recipes are a delicious guide to eating in connection with the land.
