About this deal

Amy proposes to Lino and they plan to marry where they met in Florence, but Lino’s father makes a point of not coming and forbids Lino’s mother, sister and niece from attending. 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. I sprang from my bed and nearly broke my neck running along the marble floor through the corridor to the front windows of the apartment, thinking I know he won’t be there.

There was my new lover, a man kept waiting, standing in the rain past the point where it would have been understandable to leave.Just the thought made me want to get onto my bike and head back to my tiny new apartment in Piazza del Carmine. Lino declares his love for Amy just before she leaves Italy for LA, and the couple become inseparable. Then, when Saro came to live in the States, I would make grits and he was like, 'You know this is just polenta, right?

A New York Times bestseller and Reese Witherspoon Book Club Pick that was also adapted into a Netflix series in 2022, From Scratch touches on themes of love, loss, grief, food, and community. Later, after a walk through Florence, an afternoon of window browsing, and then dinner, she told my dad, “And don’t even think about objecting to their age difference.

After I gathered my duffel bag from the luggage compartment of the bus, our large group was divided and shuttled off to a series of pensioni near the train station for the first night or two until we would all be assigned and delivered to our Italian host families.Discuss how the natural surroundings both reflect and contradict her emotions at various points in her story. Eating my pastries as I looked out the window, on the bus ride from the Rome airport to Florence, I watched the passing cypress trees, hills, and farmhouses. Netflix's From Scratch has literally everyone sobbing, and what makes the show even more emotional is it's based on a true love story. Even the buses took extra time to load and unload passengers, and the street vendors had all taken cover.

As owner and hostess, she orchestrated the front house of Acqua al 2 the way an opera singer commands center stage. The book was Reese’s Book Club x Hello Sunshine May 2019 pick, and her production company picked it up to start filming during the pandemic in April 2021. One night I was waiting for Saro to get off work, and I sat up most of the night talking to a new American roommate, Cristina, from San Francisco who had filled me with stories like a tumbler of whiskey.The Prologue takes place in an olive grove on the outskirts of Saro’s hometown of Aliminusa, Sicily. The eight-episode romantic drama takes inspiration from the true story, starring Zoe Saldaña as American Amy Wheeler, who moves to Italy and falls in love with Sicilian chef Lino (Eugenio Mastrandrea). The eight-part series, starring Zoe Saldana, has touched the hearts of every viewer (and even we were in tears for numerous episodes).
