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

When the world becomes overwhelming, Ella Risbridger focuses on the little things that bring her joy, like enjoying a glass of wine when cooking, FaceTiming with a friend whilst making bagels, and sharing recipes that are good for the soul. 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 chilli-lemon spaghetti, charred leek lasagne, 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.

In Service, chef Anna Hedworth takes the reader through a day in her restaurant, the soothing rhythms of prep and mealtimes, and the ups and downs of service. It’s an all-day operation, from breakfast through to dinner and post service, and the recipes reflect those times of day and the menus Anna creates for her restaurants.

Recipes are characterised by their simplicity and seasonality, including Spiced Pancakes with Poached Rhubarb & Raspberry for breakfast, BBQ Bavette & Courgettes with Sriracha Aioli for lunch, Braised Squid in Red wine with Fennel & Samphire for Dinner, Blood Orange, Cardamom & Olive Oil Cake for dessert and an array of drinks and seasonal preserves – this is an inspirational collection of stunning dishes.

In the best traditions of chefs like Alice Waters, Stephanie Alexander, and Judy Rodgers, Anna’s passion for food, ingredients and the place she calls home shine through in her writing. Based in the northeast of England, Anna’s restaurants, and her food, are thoughtful, unique and compelling. As well as celebrating the joys and challenges of restaurant life, Service perfectly captures a key moment in modern British cooking and eating.
