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.
