Toast (2010)

In the heart of Wolverhampton, 1967, young Nigel Slater is a nine-year-old with a love for his mother, despite her culinary disasters, and an early-blooming passion for the kitchen. His world is reduced to a mere slice of toast, his mother's only specialty, when she tragically succumbs to asthma. Left with an aloof father, Nigel's life takes a further downward spiral with the arrival of Mrs. Joan Potter, the 'common' cleaner who sweeps into the Slater household. Nigel's instincts scream that Joan's intentions stretch beyond cleaning, and soon enough, his fears materialize when she becomes the new Mrs. Slater, uprooting him to the countryside. But Joan unveils a surprising skill: she's a formidable cook, stirring up a storm of rivalry as Nigel, the sole boy in his school's cookery class, battles to regain his father's affection through the universal truth of food being the way to a man's heart. A serendipitous job at a pub kitchen introduces Nigel to an older boy, a culinary wizard who shares Nigel's orientation. This encounter infuses Nigel with the courage and inspiration he needs to break free from his stifling home life after his father's demise. With newfound determination, Nigel sets his sights on the bustling hotel kitchens of London, promising an adventure as tantalizing as his culinary creations.
