SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2023 ANDRE SIMON BEST COOKBOOK AWARD
_______________
'Ella Risbridger has a comforting talent for delivering deliciousness in a way that seems like an act of compassion' - NIGELLA LAWSON
'An extraordinary, heartwarming book with gorgeous recipes. I loved it' - NIGEL SLATER
_______________
This cookbook is about a year in the kitchen.
A year of grief and hope and change; 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.
The Year of Miracles by bestselling author Ella Risbridger is more than just a cookbook; like her award-winning Midnight Chicken, every page is a transporting blend of recipes and life story. This is about what happens when you've lived through the worst thing you could have imagined - and how you can still cook, and eat, and love.
_______________
'Love, sorrow, grief and how cooking can get you through. Ella Risbridger has such a sincere and distinctive voice. A book full of wisdom.' - DIANA HENRY
'Gut-wrenching and beautiful' - VOGUE
'Both a beautiful memoir and a hugely comforting cookbook' - MARIAN KEYES
