Midnight Chicken is a cookbook. Or, at least, when flicking through these pages you’ll find recipes so inviting that you’ll 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 that is probably better if you’ve got a bottle of wine open, and a hunk of bread to mop up the sauce. But you’ll also discover that it’s an annotated list of things – of moments – worth living for.
