What does 'made from scratch' mean? It's taking basic ingredients - milk, flour, sugar, eggs, meats, vegetables, fruits - and turning them into something that most processed convenience products lack ... food jam-packed with flavour. Sometimes we yearn for the tastes we remember back in our grandmother's day: the taste of bread that only comes from being slowly proved on the kitchen bench before baking; the preserves, bursting with full, in-season flavour, which end up filling freshly-made sandwiches and cakes; the saltiness of handmade cheese and bacon. Sentimental it may be, but the taste, flavour, freshness and piquancy of the food ... that still remains. Making food from scratch is not always hard, and it's not always time-consuming, but yes, it can be. Quality can't be rushed, time and care must be taken; this is how it is. This journey is one of a love for food made the traditional way; and when you take the time to prepare food this way, you make sure your family and friends also enjoy it the traditional way ... together at the dining table.
