A closer look at the food we eat and where it comes from


From Scratch takes us on an exploration of our planet’s complex and interconnected food supply, showing us where our food comes from, who is part of the process, and why it matters.


This new book of global culinary adventures from father and son team David and Jon Moscow highlights David’s experiences on the television series From Scratch and dives deeper into the history of the locations, the effects of climate change on the environment of these places, the chefs, farmers, hunters, and more who play a role in getting that food to people, and the politics that can surround food production.


The book also contains over 10 recipes for delicious meals from around the world.

"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."

About David and Jon

DAVID

David Moscow is the creator, executive producer, and host of From Scratch.

JON

Jon Moscow is David’s father and creative partner, and is a writer on From Scratch.

" I came out of the journey realizing how interconnected we are to everything else on the planet…"

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 is currently being filmed and is coming soon.
