A book of recipes and reflections that reveal the life-changing happiness of cooking.

Bridget Jones' self-effacing wittiness, Julia Child's companionable forgiveness and Sylvia Plath's poetic prose. --NPR
A manual for living and a declaration of hope. --Nigella Lawson

There are lots of ways to start a story, but this one begins with a chicken.

There was a time when, for Ella Risbridger, the world had become overwhelming. 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.

Midnight Chicken 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.

But 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 moments worth living for. This is a cookbook to make you fall in love with the world again.

I got this as keeper for my bedside items, glasses and remotes. Can also keep it on the bed or next to my easy chair when watching TV. Stores all my stuff in nice divided compact area. I like the brown leather look as well.

Exactly what I was looking for
Color: Black Frame
I wanted to get something to help organize my everyday items without looking too tacky. I love the simplicity and sleek design. The dividers allow me to section off certain items while keeping everything in one place. The quality of the materials look and feel sturdy with an elegant touch.
