"You don’t need to be some kind of foodie to find this book tasty… and just brilliant."

“I loved it… [it’s] both highly educational and highly entertaining. And mighty fine writing. The history lessons are rich and layered, but very accessible. And so is the personal narrative."

From Scratch: The Show
In an effort to help us reconnect with the food that sustains our lives, David Moscow has spent four years going around the world, meeting with rock-star chefs, and sourcing ingredients within local food ecosystems across twenty countries. Moscow takes us on deep dives (sometimes literally) with fisherfolk, farmers, scientists, community activists, historians, hunters, and more, bringing back stories of the communities, workers, and environments involved—some thriving, some in jeopardy, all interconnected with food.
The result is a series that marvels in the world around us while simultaneously examining the environmental issues, cultural concerns, and overlooked histories intertwined with the food we eat to survive and thrive. Through the people who harvest, hunt, fish, and forage each day, we come to understand today’s reality and tomorrow’s risks and possibilities.
The third season of
From Scratch
