From Scratch

Would I really be The Modern Nonna if I didnโ€™t take you back to the true basics? Iโ€™m talking basics that came before delivery apps and ingredient lists longer than a Costco receipt ๐Ÿงพ after a “quick” visit. Now, I’m not going to teach you how to grind your own wheat or milk cows (although I could, just saying ๐Ÿ˜), but this section is for the homemade heroes – the ones who read ingredient labels and say, โ€œYou know what? I can make that at home.โ€

For those of you who love going the extra mile, this is your cozy little corner. From cheeses ๐Ÿง€ and butter ๐Ÿงˆ to sauces and pantry staples, Iโ€™ll walk you through how to make everyday essentials from scratch, using the most wholesome, simple ingredients – just like Nonna would ๐Ÿ’›.
