From Scratch

From Scratch is a term often used in various fields such as cooking, programming, crafting, and writing. It refers to the process of creating something from the very beginning, using only basic or original materials, rather than using pre-made components or elements.

Cooking

In cooking, "from scratch" means preparing a dish using only raw, unprocessed ingredients. This is in contrast to using pre-packaged or pre-prepared ingredients. For example, baking a cake "from scratch" would involve mixing the individual ingredients (such as flour, sugar, butter, and eggs) yourself, rather than using a pre-made cake mix.

Programming

In programming, writing code "from scratch" means creating a program without the use of existing code or libraries. This is often done for educational purposes, to learn how a particular type of software works at a fundamental level. However, it can also be done for practical reasons, such as when existing software does not meet the specific needs of a project.

Crafting

In crafting, creating something "from scratch" means making it without the use of pre-made components. For example, a person might make a piece of jewelry "from scratch" by shaping and assembling the individual metal pieces themselves, rather than using pre-made charms or beads.

Writing

In writing, writing "from scratch" means creating a piece of work without using pre-existing content. This is in contrast to practices such as plagiarism, where one copies existing work, or ghostwriting, where one writes on behalf of someone else.
