Toast (2010), a BBC One adaptation broadcast on 30 December 2010 and directed by S. J. Clarkson, is based on the autobiographical novel of the same name by the cookery writer Nigel Slater. The cast includes Freddie Highmore, Helena Bonham Carter, Ken Stott and Oscar Kennedy. The film received a gala at the 2011 Berlin Film Festival. It was released in cinemas on 11 August 2011.
The Slaters of Wolverhampton are plagued with Mrs. Slater's (Victoria Hamilton) chronic debilitating asthma and her cooking limited to what comes in canned goods that she can heat in boiling water. Mr. Alan Slater (Ken Stott) is sick with worry and has a cantankerous personality. Nigel longs for a life that is more than a succession of canned-food dinners made from what can be heated in boiling water. When dinner is burned, the standard substitute of toast is always served. He loves toast, with the crunchy outside giving way to buttery softness inside. Despite her infrequent forays into cooking meals from scratch, his mother's attempts to improve her cooking change nothing before or after her death. His father continues in widowhood with the same cooking style and frequent dinners of toast. The experience brings Nigel to conclude that he is not liked. Nigel learns from a friend that the way in which he could attempt a better relationship with his father is to cook a meal for him.
The ultimate nostalgia trip through everything edible in 1960's Britain.
Based on the heart-wrenching, bittersweet story of British cook and writer Nigel Slater's childhood, adapted from his best selling memoir, Toast is a delicious love letter to the tastes and smells that a young boy associates with his journey into adulthood. "No matter how bad things get, it's impossible not to love someone who's made you toast. Once you've bitten through that crusty surface to the soft dough underneath and tasted the warm salty butter - you're lost forever." Toast is the ultimate nostalgia trip through everything edible in 1960s Britain. Set in 1967 Wolverhampton, 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...

영국의 유명한 Food Writer 나이젤 슬레이터의 성장기를 다룬 영화. 소년 나이젤은 요리솜씨가 최악인 어머니를 둔 탓에 늘 토스트만 먹고 살아야 했다. 폐가 좋지 않았던 어머니가 일찍 사망하고 새로 들어 온 가정부가 빼어난 요리솜씨로 아버지의 마음을 사로잡자, 어머니를 잊지 못하는 소년은 가정부의 요리를 별 것 아닌 것으로 만들어 그녀를 아버지로부터 떼어낼 생각으로 학교의 요리반에 들어가지만, 이제 막 배우는 요리솜씨로는 그녀를 따라잡기 어렵다. 결국 아버지와 그녀가 결혼하지만, 소년의 친어머니에 대한 집착과 새엄마에 대한 경원은 달라지지 않는다. 하지만 새엄마의 요리솜씨만큼은 일품이라며 그녀가 만들어 준 음식을 먹으며 성장하는 사이, 이제 청년이 된 그 또한 제법 상당한 요리솜씨를 익혀 새엄마와 경쟁이라도 하듯 학교에서 만든 음식을 집으로 가져가니.. 두 사람의 음식을 먹고 비만이 되어버린 채 그들의 그칠 줄 모르는 싸움을 지켜봐야 하는 아빠는 괴롭기만 하다. 그러던 어느 날 아빠마저 사고를 당해 갑자기 사망하고 이제 견원지간인 두 사람만이 가족으로 남게 되자, 소년은 함께 살자며 애원하다시피 하는 새엄마를 뿌리친 채 집을 떠나 런던 사보이 호텔의 주방에 취직하여 요리의 대가로 성장한다. 실화라고 하니 영화의 내용을 그대로 받아들일 수밖에 없긴 하겠지만, 죽은 친엄마만을 그리워하면서 불쌍한 부자父子에게 좋은 가족이 되고자 노력했던 새엄마를 끝내 마음으로 받아들이지 못하는 소년의 외골수적 기질이 좀 지나치지 않았나 하는 생각이 들었다. 이 영화에서 끝내 주인공 소년의 마음을 얻어내지 못하는 새엄마 역...
All around the country and coast to coast
People always say what do you like most?

I always tell 'em I like toast

Yeah toast!
Now there's no secret to toasting perfection
There's a dial on the side then you make your selection
Push to the dark or the light and then
If it pops too soon press down again
Make toast
Yeah toast!
Yeah toast!
When the first caveman drove in from the dregs
