@@yolandadunmore104 I have been reading about Tembi and watching interviews on KZfaq. I am definitely ordering the book now that I heard her and her sister talk about the changes. And how they came up with the names for the show was brilliant. They used the names of loss family members of the people who were involved in the making of this series. I am from New York City so I liked the fact that they went to New York before L.A. HER DAUGHTER PICKED HER OWN NAME FOR THE SERIES. IT HAS SOMETHING PERSONAL TO DO WITH HER FATHER.

The tears started flowing from EP 4. I even downloaded some of the Italian song Romano Matteo's "Concedimi" and Nyv "Per Favore". This tears gave me headache when I was done. The whole family, the friendship, the sisterhood, the marriage was just wonderfully portrayed. This was wonderful. I'm so glad Netflix didn't destroy this with their romance formula.

I cried my eyes out watching this series, I MEAN IT, I was SOBBING. It was heartwrenching, it was magnificent, it was so emotional, the family dynamics and the culture, the love of cooking and the magic he created in the kitchen. The love portrayed for his wife and child...oh my goodness. I will forever hold love stories up to this one. BRILLIANT!

Binged the entire series. I couldn't breath right during the final 3 episodes. I could imagine myself in that situation. I don't know if I could ever handle it. I was balling and heartbroken like it was me this was happening to. A thousand stars to the makers of this series. Anyone who watches and feels nothing are emotionally challenged. This storyline grips your soul and keeps you engaged in such a way that it mentally places you right there as one of the characters. This was perfection. 😊😊😊

I loved this movie more than I can say. I haven't cried during a movie in over 20 years. That all changed with "From Scratch". It really hit a nerve (in a good way) and I bawled my eyes out. I have recommended this show to everyone I know and urged them to subscribe to Netflix just to watch it. The two leads are magnificent and share a chemistry that is incredibly compelling. Kudos to all involved. I will watch it again and again and again.

I remember when the book came out I was sick at home on a workday anyway I saw an interview Tembi did about her book & I had to get it. So I’m glad they were able to bring this to the screen. What’s crazy is that I’m an artist, my first kiss was by an Italian boy 😂 & I have been hooked on Italian since. I even speak some of it but slowly learning the language. I plan on going to Italy next year for the summer. I felt like this was speaking to me & although I knew the rough parts from the book would show up I didn’t expect to cry this much. I’m happy that Zoe’ was chosen for this role it was made for her & the man that played Lino did a great job too. I have watched it about 7 times already 🙈 lol it’s that good. I’m glad Tembi shared her story ❤

Beautiful series that send you on a roller coaster ride of all human emotions that life can drop at your doorstep. The Italian sceneries make you want to pack your bags and go. It makes you realized that love is powerful and that human beings react to it the same way regardless of religion,race, country and family’s. Need a part 2.

I binged watched it last night. From episode 5 on, I couldn't stop crying and I couldn't stop watching. I saw myself in that movie . I didn't need subtitles as I understand the Sicilian language and traditions so very well being brought up by my Sicilian parents....this was bittersweet for me. My husband lost his battle with pancreatic cancer in January 2021, after only five months. And although the cancer was different, the duration was different, our ages are different, and number of children were different, etc. there were so many similarities. This time of year has turned out to be a very sad time as it was the same time period that my husband was battling and during the pandemic. Life can be beautiful one moment and so sad the next. As the author said, life doesn't always go as expected. Sometimes we are forced to start "From Scratch!"
