Summary

New York Times bestselling author, actress, and screenwriter Tembi Locke joins Zibby to talk about her memoir, From Scratch, which was a past Reese's Book Club pick. The two discuss the lessons Tembi's late Italian husband taught her about cooking and enjoying food, what were some of the hardships she faced as a grieving single parent, and why it was so important to her to explain the emotions she felt after her husband's passing as clearly as possible in her writing. Tembi also shares how she didn't initially plan to write a memoir about her relationship with her husband's family before her sister—who helped turn this book into a new limited series—pushed her to try.
