There are lots of ways to start a story, but this one begins with a chicken.
Because one night, Ella found herself lying on her kitchen floor, wondering if she would ever get up – and it was the thought of a chicken, of roasting it, and of eating it, that got her to her feet and made her want to be alive.
Midnight Chicken is the story of Ella’s life in a Tiny Flat, and the food she cooked there. From roast garlic and tomato soup to charred leek lasagne or burntbutter brownies, she shares recipes that are about people, about love, about the things that matter every day. This is a cookbook-of-stories to make you fall in love with the world again.
With a new afterword about life after The Tiny Flat.

Critic Reviews
A manual for living and a declaration of hope (Nigella Lawson)
An utter treat (Dolly Alderton)
The most talented British debut writer in a generation
A moving testimonial to the redemptive power of cooking. Risbridger knows that it offers not just solace but a map; cooking can save you. Generous, honest and uplifting. I wish I’d had this book when I was in my twenties (Diana Henry)
Her writing is beautiful, brave and moving. She shares wholeheartedly with her reader, not just of her experience, but also herself. This is a book for all seasons and states of mind and is as effective as a manual for life as it is as a kitchen companion (Shamil Thakrar, co-founder of Dishoom)
Divine. Utterly totally perfect
So full of loving kindness and so thoughtfully and poetically written
She cooks like a dream and writes like an angel
She has found a way to write not just about food itself but, more importantly, about the darkness for which cooking can be a partial remedy (Bee Wilson)
