Default How do you define "Cooking from Scratch"?

Almost all of the meat, fish and vegetables I buy are raw and organic.
We eat hardly any grains or sugar so baking isn't an issue. There are
things which I don't want to make like cheese, wine, tomato paste,
mustard, smoked fish partly because I doubt if it'd be worth the effort
and partly because I doubt I'd do it well. But I do make mayonnaise,
tapenade, taramasalata. The cooking I do is mostly fairly simple, I
buy the best food I can and do as little as possible to it. If I want
something really complicated I'll go to a restaurant where they have a
kitchen brigade to handle recipes with 25 ingredients and 20 steps!
