I received an email from SheReads (a book webpage) that included the synopsis of this show:

Quote

Inspired by the memoir, From Scratch is a cross-cultural love story that follows Amahle "Amy" Wheeler (played by Zoe Saldaña) an American student studying abroad in Italy, as she meets and falls in love with Lino, a Sicilian chef. Their whirlwind romance faces many unforeseen challenges, including their very different cultural backgrounds; true to real life, it is also infused with lightheartedness and moments of humor that exist alongside the more serious ones. But when Lino is faced with unimaginable health challenges and the couple’s future is threatened, the two families come together to create an extended family unlike any they could have imagined, proving that love crosses all borders.

It appears that this is not a direct adaptation from the book, which was Tembi Locke's memoir.  My guess it will be along the lines of the Netflix production of Unorthodox, which used the basic structure of a memoir, but basically created a fictional story within it.
