From Scratch
The book presents ten classic meals—such as roast chicken, omelet, and paella—alongside 175 recipes that explore alternative approaches, including easy and complex versions, vegetarian options, side dishes, and leftover strategies. It also covers making pasta, growing tomatoes, and producing homemade mozzarella and ricotta. The author reflects on how cooking from scratch can bring people together, calm nerves, focus the mind, and nourish body and soul.
