Ella Risbridger

We are delighted to welcome Ella Risbridger, the author of the beautiful and award-winning Midnight Chicken cookbook, to celebrate her new book – The Year of Miracles: Recipes about Love + Grief + Growing Things.

This is a cookbook. It’s also a story about a year of grief and hope and change; a year of fancy fish pie,
cardamom-cinnamon chicken rice, chimichurri courgettes, quadruple carb soup, blackberry miso birthday cake, and sticky toffee Guinness brownie pudding. A year of loss, and every kind of romance, and fried jam sandwiches. A year of seedlings and pancakes. A year of falling in love. A year of recipes.  A year, in other words, of minor miracles.

Perhaps you’ve read and cooked from Midnight Chicken (& Other Recipes Worth Living For). Perhaps you haven’t. Either way, The Year of Miracles is the story of what happened next – and how even after the worst thing you can think of happens, you can still cook, and eat, and love.
