Ella Risbridger: The Year or Miracles

<p>This week, Gilly's talking about <a href="https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/year-of-miracles-9781526622617/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>The Year of Miracles</em></a><em> </em>by <a href="https://www.ellarisbridger.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ella Risbridger</a>. Like her first book,<a href="https://www.waterstones.com/book/midnight-chicken/ella-risbridger/elisa-cunningham/9781526623898" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em> Midnight Chicken&nbsp;&nbsp;and other recipes worth living for</em></a>, it’s part memoir, part recipe book and reads like a novel. And despite not meaning to be a book about grief, it’s soaked in it. In a good way.&nbsp;&nbsp;Ella describes grief 'like an anvil crashing through the floor revealing a whole new level where you can live', and where she lives is a really interesting place which questions a whole way of being. A fascinating insight into writing, grief and queerness from a writer the critics have called 'the new Nigella'.</p><br><p><br></p><br><p>To get 10% off the Essentials online course that I’m doing over over the next 6 months, <strong>go to </strong><a href="http://leithsonline.com/courses/essential-cooking" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">leithsonline.com/courses/essential-cooking</a>&nbsp;</p><p> Click ‘enrol’ on course page and apply the code: GILLY10 at checkout:&nbsp;</p><p> </p><p> And if you fancy a Free Hollandaise mini-course<strong> – </strong>Sign up for a Workshop account or login at: <a href="https://app.workshop.ws/login/?next=/profile/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">app.workshop.ws/profile</a> and click ‘Redeem Coupon’ on the sidebar and enter code GILLYSGIFT&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> See <a style='color:grey;' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
