The Storyline 

As was indicated before, the upcoming series From Scratch on Netflix will be based on the real-life experiences and family of author Tembi Locke, as recounted in her autobiography, which was released in May of this year. In order to turn the novel into a series, the author collaborated with her sister Attica Locke, who is also an author.

The Shondaland website interviewed the two siblings in 2019 to learn more about what inspired the plot. A quick rundown of the storyline of the series is as follows:

From Scratch, based on the No. 1 memoir on the New York Times bestseller list, tells the tale of an African American woman who meets and falls in love with a Sicilian chef while studying abroad in Florence. She later moves in with him in Los Angeles and begins to meld their two seemingly disparate cultures.

Amy cares for her husband after he is unexpectedly diagnosed with cancer and pulls their two very different families together to form a new loving family for her and her daughter after he passes away.

What’s The Production Status?

The production of the Netflix show From Scratch was completed in a relatively short amount of time: the first day of filming was April 5, 2021, and it lasted until August 7, 2021.

The shooting began in Los Angeles, California, in the United States, and then relocated to Florence, Italy, in July of 2021. As of the month of November 2021, post-production work had been done on the limited series.
