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
