about
Starting from Scratch is a manifesto on food that will help kids
relate to what they eat, whether on special occasions or every day,
inspiring both budding chefs and budding food lovers in the process.
Beginning with an exploration of taste and the way it works, author and
food activist Sarah Elton explains how ingredients have been on the move
for centuries, resulting in the unique and fusion flavors we love
today. She breaks down the science of food and cooking into bite-sized
and easily digestible pieces of information that cover everything from
the chemistry of heat versus cold, fat versus acid, and salt versus
sweet.
Both practical and philosophical in its approach, Starting from Scratch demystifies food and cooking by boiling it down to the basics. Kids will be able to make sense of recipes, measure and substitute ingredients, and stock a pantry, but they’ll also discover that food is more than just a prepackaged meal. Using simple and universal examples, like how an onion is transformed when it’s boiled versus charred, caramelized versus fried, Starting from Scratch will inspire kids to eat better, try new flavors, and understand what’s on their plate.
Even readers who decide the kitchen isn’t for them will leave with an improved sense of where food comes from and be able to join in on a conversation that continues from snack time to dinnertime.
