The plot is surprising.
Nigel fell in love with cooking. It should be the canned food he had been eating when he was a child, but he had never eaten any really delicious food (except for meat pies), so he had a yearning for food in his bones.
More importantly, he always thought that his father didn't love him. At first, he was instigated by his good friend to think that "to grab a man's heart, he must first grab his stomach", so he tried to make fish, hoping to get his father's favor. Agree, it's like a hint to Dad after he's finished eating his charred fish: Cooking is the only way he can get close to him.
Mrs. Potter's appearance is an important reason. Nigel believes that Mrs Potter has taken his mother's place in his father's heart, and Mrs Potter's meals have been unanimously praised. So the only way to defeat Mrs. Potter and win back her father's love for herself and her mother is to cook and eat better than her!
It is both cute and sad to see the stepmother and son fighting wits and courage in cooking in order to win the praise of their father.
Reminds me of the topic of discussion with my friends yesterday. Many children's problems are actually not only children's problems, but also family problems. The state of the parents themselves and the way they get along with each other are actually affecting their children unconsciously. Like Nigel, he thinks the way to win his father's attention and praise is to make a better lemon pie than Mrs. Potter.
If it's more serious, Nigel's sexuality is also related to the absence of a father in his life from an early age, starting as a gardener, he has been seeking intimacy with men that he cannot find in the family.
