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.

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.
