Description
Wolverhampton,1967:- nine year old Nigel Slater loves his mother though
she is a hopeless cook, her finest offering being toast whilst he has
great culinary aspirations. When she dies of asthma Nigel is left with a
distant father but worse is to come when the 'common' Mrs. Joan Potter
arrives as the Slaters' cleaner. Nigel fears,rightly,that her aim is to
be the next Mrs. Slater and soon he has a new stepmother and is whisked
away to the country. Joan is,however,a superb cook but this only makes
for rivalry as Nigel,the only boy in his cookery class at secondary
school,competes with her to find the way to his father's heart. A
weekend job in a pub kitchen introduces Nigel to an older boy,another
great cook and gay like himself ,who gives him the confidence and
inspiration to leave home after his father's death and head for the
hotel kitchens of London.
