Sounds were too loud, colors were too bright, everyone moved too fast. One night she 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eMidnight Chicken\u003c\/i\u003e is a cookbook. Or, at least, you'll flick through these pages and find recipes so inviting that you will head straight for the kitchen: roast garlic and tomato soup, uplifting chili-lemon spaghetti, charred leek lasagna, squash skillet pie, spicy fish finger sandwiches and burnt-butter brownies. It's the kind of cooking you can do a little bit drunk, that is probably better if you've got a bottle of wine open and a hunk of bread to mop up the sauce. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut if you settle down and read it with a cup of tea (or a glass of that wine), you'll also discover that it's an annotated list of things worth living for--a manifesto of \u003ci\u003emoments\u003c\/i\u003e worth living for. This is a cookbook to make you fall in love with the world again.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ella Risbridger","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50928419963222,"sku":"9781408867761","price":25.92,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0886\/3206\/6390\/files\/9781408867761.jpg?v=1753846542","url":"https:\/\/www.laufgard.com\/products\/midnight-chicken-9781408867761","provider":"Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
