Details

A story of friendship, fish pie and flick-to-kick football. Andy Green's dad needs a recipe for toast. He thinks that Tortilla fought King Kong and that Tiramisu played midfield for Brazil in the 1974 World Cup. In short, he's rubbish. Good at Subbuteo; hopeless with spaghetti. So when Andy's mum dies, Andy does the decent thing - he takes a month off work and moves back home with his dad to teach him how to cook. Fighting memories - and occasionally each other - and threatening the sanity of friends and neighbours, not to mention Andy's new girlfriend, the pair boil pans, set grills on fire, and worse, in an attempt to avoid a diet of pickled beetroot and jam sandwiches (not necessarily in that order). Can their relationship survive? Or is this is one kitchen nightmare even Gordon Ramsay couldn't fix?
