520    "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"--
