Hot chefs are having a moment in 2022, and that’s only going to continue into the fall. On the new limited series From Scratch, young American student Amy (Zoe Saldaña) gets entangled with Sicilian chef Lino (Eugenio Mastrandrea). We’ve got first look photos and a teaser poster for you below.

Amy’s idyllic study-abroad summer starts perfectly: good food, handsome company and beautiful seaside backdrops. But her trip quickly grows more complicated. As if the couple’s cultural differences weren’t enough, soon Lino faces health issues that could tear the two lovers apart. In order to make it through this unforeseen challenge, Amy and Lino will have to unite their families into a cross-country support system that evades borders and overcomes obstacles.
From Scratch is based on the New York Times bestselling memoir by Eureka and Never Have I Ever star Tembi Locke. Like Locke’s real-life story, the series is a family affair: Locke’s sister Attica (a co-writer on Ava DuVernay’s When They See Us) serves as showrunner. It was shot in Los Angeles and on location in Florence, Italy — jealous yet?
From Scratch is produced by Tembi Locke herself, as well as Reese Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine production company (Witherspoon featured the memoir as part of her Book Club). Alongside Saldaña and Mastrandrea, the series also stars Keith David, Danielle Deadwyler, Kellita Smith and Judith Scott.
From Scratch hits Netflix this October 21. Don’t forget to make some pasta before you stream.
