Here's what critics are saying about "Scratch". . .

Book Review by Kathryn Jones

What do chickens do?

Scratch.

What do mothers do who want their children to grow up healthy and happy?

Cook from scratch of course.

In a time when “quick fix” meals are all the rage, Tammie Duggar’s cookbook, “Scratch—Real Food, Real Recipes” is a god send. Instead of opening up a spaghetti sauce can for yet another Italian meal or scrambling in the cupboard for my family’s latest boxed surprise, I am finally doing anything but digging, and Duggar is showing me how easy it is to cook without the bottle, the box or the microwavable package.

“I want readers of my book to re-connect with real food; to fall in love with the process of meal preparation and to re-capture something special that our culture has lost,” says Duggar.

“Scratch,” published by Morris Press Cookbooks, includes over 250 recipes, including gluten free and dairy free options. Mothers who are intimidated by cooking from scratch will be pleasantly surprised at the easy, guilt free recipes. I know I was. I discovered that cooking from scratch was less inexpensive than I originally thought and what I put together was quick, easy and healthy. My favorite recipe is Black Bean Salsa, which incorporates frozen corn, tomatoes, and green onions. It’s very tasty!

Though there are no pictures in “Scratch” to show the finished product, I found the recipes simple and specific enough that not having photos did not matter to me.

“Scratch,” is indeed a cookbook for our time. Cooks of all ages will enjoy the hard cover 3-ring binder for easy adding and viewing, the tabbed recipe sections, and the ingredient substitution list. They will love how they can make real food…fast; how they can please even the pickiest of family members.
