An Evening with Ella Risbridger
An Evening with Ella Risbridger

Join us for the return of Sunday Times bestselling writer Ella Risbridger, as we celebrate her latest cookbook, The Kitchen Book.

Ella will be in conversation with a leading host, delving into stories and recipes as she discusses her latest culinary venture. Focussing on ideas that exemplify 'minimal faff and maximum reward', there's plenty to sink your teeth into with this exciting release.

Every book + ticket comes with a copy of The Kitchen Book, that Ella will sign and dedicate on the day.

About The Kitchen Book

'This book is utter magic. I have folded down so many pages: I love the recipes, I love the writing. Her best book yet' - Dolly Alderton

'A modern classic' - Nicola Lamb

'Everything about this book is worth it. Frankly, even if you never ever cook, this book is worth it. I love it' - Nigella Lawson

Home cooking but make it gorgeous. Make it the thing that improves your day. Make it beautiful, useful and delicious. Make your life just, like, 10% better.

No-knife potato curry, cumin lamb ragù, turmeric satay salmon, marinated bavette, and kimchi remoulade; breakfast bars, rhubarb and custard, sticky lemon cake, and one-bowl cannelés. This is cooking for real life – the kinds of recipes you will actually make and actually love.

There are plenty of ideas to get you through the week with minimal faff and maximum reward, whether you're at your lowest ebb or striving for elegance:

  • The big list: how to stock the fridge, freezer, spice drawer and more
  • On the sofa: sticky-crispy Korean tofu, pistachio chilli, pumpkin and raisin roasted rice
  • At the kitchen counter: brown butter cornbread, herby mango salad, green chickpea quesadillas
  • For a gathering: sheet-pan leek latkes, pig cheek and queen bean burritos, smoky rosemary palomas
  • With a tablecloth: asparagus fritters, miso mushroom ragù, smoky tea chocolate pots
  • For the week ahead: bread and butter, cure-all one-pan beans, pink onions, caramelised garlic
  • On the floor: carbonara rice, fish finger and smoked sweetcorn tacos, sausage and rocket gnocchi

Roasting a chicken. Planning for the week ahead. Throwing a party (for three or thirty or more). Baking fail-safe cookies (for when failure to have cookies really isn't an option). The Kitchen Book is your source of wisdom for the 4pm what's-for-dinner panic, and the definitive answer to 'Maybe just toast and an early night?'

These are recipes that will stick with you for life.
