"There's a lot of content out there about scratch cooking, but I'm not sure it applies to busy lifestyles."

"I grew up on a lot of pre-made and processed foods..we never made cakes from scratch. I got to a point in my life when i was in my teens where I thought 'there has to be a way to do this on your own!' I really got hooked on it, it became my creative outlet."

"At the end of the day, you're only a phone call away from take-out if [scratch cooking] becomes a disaster."

--Jennifer Perillo, writer of "In Jennie's Kitchen" on Let's Eat In
