It was love at first sight when Tembi met professional chef Saro on a street in Florence. There was just one problem: Saro's traditional Sicilian family did not approve of him marrying a black American woman, an actress no less. However, the couple, heartbroken but undeterred, forges on. They build a happy life in Los Angeles, with fulfilling careers, deep friendships and the love of their lives: a baby girl they adopt at birth. Eventually, they reconcile with Saro's family just as he faces a formidable cancer that will consume all their dreams. 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 that leaps off the pages. 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. 600 10 $a Locke, Tembi, $d 1970- 600 10 $a Locke, Tembi, $d 1970- $x Family. 650 0 $a Interethnic marriage. 651 0 $a Sicily (Italy) $x Ethnic relations. 650 0 $a Television actors and actresses $z United States $v Biography. 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Personal Memoirs. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a TRAVEL / Europe / Italy. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Culinary. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Ethnic relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00916005 650 7 $a Families. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01728849 650 7 $a Interethnic marriage. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00976198 650 7 $a Television actors and actresses. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01146641 651 7 $a Italy $z Sicily. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204499 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Audiobooks. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726208 655 7 $a Biography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423686 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Audiobooks. $2 lcgft 941 $a 5 945 $a cdab 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611013535.0 952 $l CHPB482 $d 20231117010724.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20220804023516.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210909010130.0 952 $l BNPD611 $d 20210323020751.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DB0EFBAC93E911E9AA03786997128E48 994 $a C0 $b JIWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
