**A _DELICIOUS MAGAZINE_ BEST COOKBOOK OF THE YEAR \* A _GLOBE AND MAIL_ TOP 10 COOKBOOK OF THE YEAR  
Shortlisted for the Andre Simon Best Cookbook Award 2022**

From the author of _Midnight Chicken_, a month-by-month chronicle of writing and recipes that explores joy and healing through food.

"A gift to readers and cooks alike ... wise and tender, a reminder that however gloomy your situation, the world abounds in beauty, should you choose to see it." --_The Washington Post_

"Exuberant, unstoppable, and triumphantly on the side of love and life in the face of death and loss and grief." --_Vox_

This cookbook is about a year in the kitchen (and in the garden under the fire-escape steps). A year of grief and hope and change; of 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.

In Ella Risbridger's first book _Midnight Chicken,_ she showed readers how food can serve as a light in our darkest days. Now, in _The Year of Miracles,_ Ella shares her story of recovering from loss with the help of good food and good friends. The book celebrates making a fancy dinner even if you're just eating it with a spoon in front of the tv; having people over to dinner without overthinking it; finding late night snacks to ease you to sleep; and having seconds--of everything. Above all, it a powerful testament to how cooking can help us get up and start again in the face of unimaginable hurt.

With tender vulnerability, mesmerizing prose, and delectable recipes, _The Year of Miracles_ is a touching, unforgettable book on finding hope through food.
