From Scratch

-- chronicles three summers Tembi spends in Sicily with her daughter, Zoela, as she begins to piece together a life without her husband in his tiny hometown hamlet of farmers. Where once Tembi was estranged from Saro?s family and his origins, now she finds solace and nourishment ? literally and spiritually ? at her mother-in-law?s table. In the Sicilian countryside, she discovers the healing gifts of simple fresh food, the embrace of a close-knit community, and timeless traditions and wisdom that light a path forward. All along the way, she reflects on her and Saro?s incredible romance ? an indelible love story.In Sicily, it is said that every story begins with a marriage or a death ? in Tembi Locke?s case, it is both. Her story is about loss, but it?s really about love found. Her story is about travel, but it?s really about finding a home. It is about food, but it?s really about chasing flavor as an act of remembrance. From Scratch is for anyone who has dared to reach for big love, fought for what mattered most, and needed a powerful reminder that life is...delicious.
