The Journey of Sasha Martin, author of “Life from Scratch,”a memoir of food, family, and forgiveness.

Meet Sasha Martin —Sasha grew up in and out of many homes across two continents. This includes living in several foster homes and with family friends. Though loved and cared for, she often felt unsure of her place in the world. She discovered that creative expression through her art, writing, and cooking helped heal and feel her way through life’s challenges and celebrations.

This is a replay of the 27th episode of the JOURNEYS Webcast—Adventure & Discovery In The Time of Corona. Allan Karl and Sasha Martin chatted from San Diego and Tulsa, Oklahoma via Livestream on December 7, 2020, during the global pandemic. A great conversation, stories, poetry, and good beer!

Cooking every country was just the beginning.

For nearly four years, Sasha and her family cooked more than 650 recipes from 195 countries and territories. Curious, open-minded, and open-hearted, they ate really, really well – all from her modest kitchen in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She discovered the experience connected her family with people from all over the globe. She documented her experience in the blog she built from scratch: Global Table Adventure—the go-to place for global foodies.

Her book, “Life from Scratch: A Memoir of Food, Family, and Forgiveness” (National Geographic, 2015), allowed her to connect her family’s cooking adventure with a deeper search for a sense of belonging.

Named a best new book and book club pick in O, the Oprah Magazine, People Magazine, and was a GoodReads Choice Awards Finalist. “Life From Scratch” chronicles her attempt to cook her way to happiness and self-acceptance. Her work has been featured in many places, including Food & Wine, People Magazine, NPR, Christopher Kimball’s Milk Street Kitchen, O Magazine, Boston Globe, and Food52.
