Sinopse

THE INSTANT #1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

From award-winning writer Nigel Slater, comes a new and exquisitely written collection of notes, memoir, stories and small moments of joy.

'Nigel Slater’s prose is the rarest delicacy of all: exquisite yet effortless, filled with heart, tenderness, yearning and humour' ELIZABETH DAY

For years, Nigel Slater has kept notebooks of curiosities and wonderings, penned while at his kitchen table, soaked in a fisherman’s hut in Reykjavik, sitting calmly in a moss garden in Japan or sheltering from a blizzard in a Vienna Konditorei.

These are the small moments, events and happenings that gave pleasure before they disappeared. Miso soup for breakfast, packing a suitcase for a trip and watching a butterfly settle on a carpet, hiding in plain sight. He gives short stories of feasts such as a mango eaten in monsoon rain or a dish of restorative macaroni cheese and homes in on the scent of freshly picked sweet peas and the sound of water breathing at night in Japan.

This funny and sharply observed collection of the good bits of life, often things that pass many of us by, is utter joy from beginning to end.

‘I loved this. It is a secular book of hours – thoughts and pleasures beautifully cadenced and generously placed’ Edmund de Waal

‘Nigel Slater has a magical capacity to find beauty in the smallest moments. A nourishing, sustaining book’ Olivia Laing

‘His evocative, uplifting observations are a balm for life: a prose-poem for eaters and a spiritual companion for thoughtful cooks. A true and enduring joy’ Nigella Lawson

‘You can’t always feel buoyant and grateful but noticing – and getting pleasure from – the seemingly insignificant is a good way to live. As he says, feel the “small moments of joy”’ Diana Henry

Resumo da Crítica

‘Slater is at his best on food and travel: his ability to evoke a culture and a mood (and his food writing by itself does both) is remarkable … He is a purveyor of the good life, simplicity, cosiness and warmth’ Sunday Times

‘Slater’s greatest talent is making the ordinary extraordinary, showing us how to revel in a ripe fig or a piece of cheese … He may worry that he sounds trite and that his musings on diminutive pleasures are trivial, that he hasn’t answered any of the big questions about the universe, but as I leave I feel grateful for Slater, the god of small things’ The Times

‘The granular detail and the passion are obviously signature Slater, but this book feels different: a sort of timeless diary, with its glimpsed, generous offerings to the tired reader, who in days like ours might forget that there’s still so much beauty to be had’ Jessie Burton, author of The Miniaturist
