Zoe expressed,” Well, Reese Witherspoon did not necessarily land on my lap, but kind of.”The actress spoke about how she got the part of Amy Amahle in the chronicle “From Scratch.”

“We were at dinner with our partners and some common friends,” said Zoe

“And I guess she saw the dynamic between my husband [Marco] and I, and then called me up the next day or a week later to tell me that her company, they had read this book, and it was going to be a part of their club.”

The famous New York bestseller was not even out, but Witherspoon felt Saldana could play this part very well.

 She meets a Silician chef Lino. He is facing health issues. When I read it, we all know how Tembi Locke and Saro’s story ends,” the actress added.

But their love, friendship, life, journey, and the story of their lives together are timeless. And that was deeply moving to me.” 

Zoe added, “I would laugh out loud at all the things that she — as a woman who is not Italian, marrying a very Italian man — went through. It’s an ongoing thing for me. It’s a saga that never ends and that I love. I’ve learned to embrace a lot of it.”
