From Scratch: A Memoir of Love, Sicily, and Finding Home by Tembi Locke

4.0

A beautiful love story! I admire all of Tembi’s honesty, vulnerability, fears, and sharing the challenges of two cultures. It was wonderful hearing about Sicily and all of the wonderful food. I REALLY appreciate the recipes in the back of the book. I plan on trying some of the recipes. I love cooking, and I felt like I learned some tips about Italian cooking, my favorite! It would be great to have a follow up story to see if her daughter continues to visit every year or end up there for her college or young adult years. Some of the raw emotions really made me cry and sad, Tembi can verbalize all the complexities of grief. I will look into her blog as a resource.

One thing I was wondering the whole time I read the book- is the cover photo their wedding picture?
