David Moscow, the creator and star of the ground-breaking series
From Scratch, takes us on an exploration of our planet’s complex and interconnected food supply, showing us where our food comes from and why it matters in his new book of global culinary adventures.
The food we eat on our fragile planet
A closer look at the food we eat and where it comes from.
“I’m still rocking in the wake of reading
From Scratch, an all-out adventure of food exploration and education. With a food system that increasingly denies the existence of seasons, craft, and deliciousness, it’s an urgent reminder of where our food comes from. David Moscow brings the ancient human art of feeding ourselves back into consciousness.”
—Chef Dan Barber, Blue Hill at Stone Barn

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 this travel journal 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.
