What Toast Is About

A boy whose mother cannot cook grows up through his relationship with the kitchen, and after she dies the woman who arrives in the house turns out to be an alarmingly good cook. It looks like a food film and is really about competition, with the child learning to bake in order to win his father's attention. Drawn from a real food writer's childhood. Sixties England is rendered in tins, jelly and sugar, which reads as strange rather than nostalgic. The stepmother escapes caricature because the film concedes her case.
