Nigel Slater recalls his childhood and adolescence in 1960s England through food: the burnt toast made by his mother, his father's stews and other dishes of the era. The death of Nigel's mother and the arrival of a housekeeper trigger a culinary competition for paternal affection that reveals his gastronomic vocation.
