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.
