"There’s also some really solid kneading to be done here, which is the best cure for a troubled heart: hands in the dough, window wide, something jaunty on the radio."

-Ella Risbridger, Midnight Chicken: & Other Recipes Worth Living For

"And I was scared, and I was stuck. It was ridiculous, laughable: sometimes anxiety is. Often it is. It doesn't make it any less real, or any less difficult to manage."

-Ella Risbridger, Midnight Chicken: & Other Recipes Worth Living For

"In my life I have had several moments of total clarity. Not revelations, necessarily, but times and places where I have, fleetingly, felt that everything in the world was more real than usual, and that everything was brighter and truer and clearer than ever before."

-Ella Risbridger, Midnight Chicken: & Other Recipes Worth Living For

"I love recipes like this, reading them and making them. There’s something brilliant about a recipe that doesn’t ask too much of you; a recipe, in fact, where getting it exactly right would be exactly wrong; a recipe you can fiddle with, and tend to when you remember."
