Of Risbridger's two cookbooks, Midnight Chicken has my heart. That said, my husband and I reach for The Year of Miracles every Sunday night, when we make Ella's excellent cheese scones for the week ahead. For a book that's all about making rituals of everyday life with the people you love, our Sunday scones tradition seems fitting.

A beautifully written memoir/cookbook which focuses on grief and love and chosen family as well as on food. I love Ella Risbridger's writing and I wanted to eat almost every recipe!

DNF at 25%.

I feel so bad not finishing this, and I feel bad for the author having lost her partner, especially at such a young age, but I just can’t trudge through this anymore. It’s like random ramblings and musings. I think the writing was cathartic for her, which is wonderful, but it’s day-to-day stuff and thoughts that are boring for the reader, and the recipes are for food that seems quite odd to me. I am sure they will resonate better with the UK audience.

Thank you NetGalley and Bloomsbury for providing me with this ARC in exchange for my honest review.
