_______________
She cooks like a dream and writes like an angel' Sarah Phelps
A diary of cooking, with comfort recipes for every season
This story begins with loss. It’s about what happens when you've lived through the worst thing you could have imagined, and how you can still cook, and eat, and love.
Because Ella Risbridger has learnt to focus on the little things that bring her joy, feeding as many people as she can squeeze round her tiny table and sharing recipes that are good for the soul. Miracle Pie is her journal and storybook of cooking, where the food is so good you want to lick the bowl, with recipes like fancy fish pie, cardamom-cinnamon chicken rice, chimichurri courgettes, triple carb soup, blackberry miso birthday cake, fried jam sandwiches and sticky toffee Guinness brownies.
It's also a cookbook-of-life where friends throw open the door and seduce you into laughing. Where the people you meet listen to you and tell the truth – and sometimes there are days when the only people you can talk to are the ones behind the till in a cafe. And that's okay too. Because as the cookery year turns, the past and the future cannot help but make their peace, at home in Ella's kitchen.
Ella Risbridger is a writer, editor and anthologiser. In a former life she was a beauty columnist for the i, a cancer columnist for the Pool, a sometime journalist for lots of places (Guardian, Observer, Prospect, Grazia, Stylist), a poet and a carer. She now lives and works in south-east London, where she has too many books and thinks a lot about getting a cat.

Reviews
Each recipe documents a particular moment, part of the author’s gradual process of falling back in love with cooking and finding joy in what can feel like a dark world. The new Nigella. A charming, witty coming-of-age-slash-recovery story that is refreshingly free of saccharine (the ingredient and the sentiment), a cookbook that rewards creativity over rules.
