<p>I always think the last Nigel Slater book is my favourite but, a bit like the Olympics, he</p><p>just keeps getting better' ELIZABETH DAY</p><p>From award-winning writer Nigel Slater, comes a new and exquisitely written</p><p>collection of notes, memoir, stories and small moments of joy.</p><p>For years, Nigel Slater has kept notebooks of curiosities and wonderings, penned while at his kitchen</p><p>table, soaked in a fisherman’s hut in Reykjavik, sitting calmly in a moss garden in Japan or sheltering</p><p>from a blizzard in a Vienna Konditorei.</p><p>These are the small moments, events and happenings that gave pleasure before they disappeared.</p><p>Miso soup for breakfast, packing a suitcase for a trip and watching a butterfly settle on a carpet,</p><p>hiding in plain sight. He gives short stories of feasts such as a mango eaten in monsoon rain or a dish</p><p>of restorative macaroni cheese and homes in on the scent of freshly picked sweet peas and the</p><p>sound of water breathing at night in Japan.</p><p>This funny and sharply observed collection of the good bits of life, often things that pass many of us</p><p>by, is utter joy from beginning to end.</p><div><br></div>
