This cookbook is about a year in the kitchen.
A year of grief and hope and change; of fancy fish pie, cardamom-cinnamon chicken rice, chimichurri courgettes, quadruple carb soup, blackberry miso birthday cake, and sticky toffee Guinness brownie pudding.
A year of loss, and every kind of romance, and fried jam sandwiches.
A year of seedlings and pancakes. A year of falling in love. A year of recipes.
A year, in other words, of minor miracles.
