Leonard's birthday brings his children back home for a family meal, but he is finding it hard to cope on his own.
Directed by Sally Avens
At 66 June Cartwright finally lost her battle with Ovarian Cancer. She didn't fear death but what would happen to her family after she'd gone, for she knew she was the emotional glue that kept them together. For June, food was everything. A family that eats together, stays together.
June may have left behind her a husband and two children. What they will soon discover is that she also left behind fifty frozen meals, perfectly cooked to their tastes which serve to guide them through their grief, together.
The series charts five meals, spread across seven months during which the Cartwright family pull themselves apart, back together, and figure out how to move on after their mothers death.
