“From Scratch” may not be as easy to watch as it first may seem. But if you’re also in the mood to indulge the breadth of those emotions anyway, this should provide exactly the weepy embrace you’ll need to get there. Read full review

At times things can feel a little too romanticized. ... You can't fault From Scratch for leaning into that, and thankfully, because its cast of characters are so endearing — seriously, you will miss spending time with them when it's all over — you won't have to feel bad when you lean into it, too.

Although the plot easily becomes mawkish, there is an intelligence and veracity wrapped within the show’s sleek and cozy shell. Read full review

From Scratch is a perfect slice of escapism for the wine moms and independent women of the world. It’s not worthy of awards, but it is worth recommending to my fellow die-hard romantics as a blithe bit of distraction from everyday stress and sorrows. Read full review

An expensive, well-acted, nicely written, very long Lifetime/Hallmark movie. ... The narrative turns somehow feel at once twisty and predictable. Still, this is what some people come for, and they will perhaps feel it as abundance, rather than punishment. (That said, “From Scratch” might be best watched not as a binge, but with some recovery time between episodes.) Read full review

As a show of meals doled out over distinct episodes, From Scratch is handily engaging, even if the final product never quite adds up to the sum of its sumptuous parts. Perhaps it’s best to understand it as comfort food of a television show that only sometimes feels algorithmically created. Read full review

The show feels very careful about so much — too careful — but every so often there's a line of dialogue that hints at a sense of humor. Read full review

From Scratch was such a heartfelt Netflix series filled with a variety of emotions. One minute you're smiling and the next minute you are balling your eyes out. This show was very real, personable and I'm sure relatable to some. It was a beautiful love story filled with ups and downs. I'll be interested to see what season 2 would bring.… Expand
