Recipes from the Friends of Mar Vista

Our guests tell our story better than we can.

Their candid photos dominate our website. Their letters and journal entries tell of the Mar Vista magic firsthand. And now their recipes inspired by our garden and the sea illustrate the intensity of the flavor of food from earth or ocean to a Mar Vista Cottage table.

I thought that the chefs that visit Mar Vista were on a kind of "busmans holiday. No, they say, as chefs they are never able to cook simply just for themselves, and at Mar Vista they have the added freedom and indulgence of a garden and orchard harvest at their reach!
