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.

So good!

I've never bought a cookbook on audiobook before. I have Midnight Chicken in physical form and have adored it. When I heard it was not only coming out on Audible, but moreover read by Ella Risbridger, I preordered it immediately. It's my favorite cookbook, my favorite memoir, and right up there with my favorite books in general. It's one I come back to when I'm not even looking to cook, I just want to feel like I'm cozy in someone else's kitchen on a fall weekend day and we are doing the very important work of being alive. Being able to listen to it makes that feel even more possible and lovely.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
