From the charismatic author of Cooking for the Culture<\/em><\/strong>, a collection of heritage recipes inspired by the oldest-known published cookbook written by a Black woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cooking from Scratch <\/em>is chef and storyteller Toya Boudy<\/strong>\u2019s most personal\u2014and most irresistible\u2014cookbook yet. Written during a transformative chapter in her life, it\u2019s infused with the warmth, humor, and grit that have made her a morning-show favorite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drawing inspiration from Malinda Russell<\/strong>\u2019s groundbreaking 1866 cookbook, A Domestic Cook Book<\/strong><\/em>, Boudy reimagines simple, soul-satisfying dishes designed to bring people together. In the wake of divorce and deep self-reflection, she has returned to the kitchen\u2014the place that saved her nearly 30 years ago as a teenage single mom. Cooking from Scratch<\/strong> <\/em>includes 70 family-loved recipes shaped by the cultures that define her: Mini Crawfish Pies, Jamaican Curry, African Spinach Stew, homey Salisbury Steak, and more. Beyond the table, she shares 20 natural remedies\u2014from herbal cough syrup to \u201cDetox\u201d Lentil Soup\u2014that nourish body and spirit alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With every page, Boudy shows how healing, joy, and resilience can begin with something beautifully simple: cooking from scratch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chef Toya Boudy is a New Orlean<\/strong>s local and the author of Cooking for the Culture<\/em>. She was crowned Best Home Cook by Hallmark\u2019s Home & Family Channel<\/strong> in 2017, and she has appeared on Today<\/strong>, TLC<\/strong>, CBS<\/strong>, and the Food Network<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
