Piglet

Content Warning: This section of the guide includes discussion of disordered eating.

Ninety-eight days before her wedding, cookbook editor Piglet prepares a lavish dinner for her fiancé, Kit Edwards, and their friends in Kit and Piglet’s new home in Oxford, England. As she shops for ingredients at Waitrose, an upscale grocery store, she considers how her taste in food has evolved since she lived with her parents. When she met Kit’s family for the first time, she was impressed by the elaborate meal that his mother served and their intellectual conversations. Now, she is pleased to have her own home to host in.

At home, Piglet and Kit prepare their home for guests, using moving boxes covered with a tablecloth in place of a table. Kit tries to pick crispy skin off the roast chicken, but Piglet stops him, offering him a bite of dessert instead. The guests—married couple Margot and Sasha and newly engaged couple Seb and Sophie—arrive as Piglet is finishing one of the two salads she plans to serve. Piglet prepares the table and is annoyed when Margot, who is pregnant, loudly announces that dinner is ready. Before they eat, Kit gives a loving toast to Piglet, who feels overwhelmed by her new life.
