Como agua para chocolate : novela de entregas mensuales con recetas, amores y remedios caseros / Laura Esquivel.
A #1 bestseller in Mexico in 1990, this charming, imaginative, and just plain fun novel of family life in turn-of-the-century Mexico includes unique recipes at the beginning of each chapter for a variety of traditional dishes.
A classic love story which takes place on the De la Garza ranch, as the tyrannical owner, Mama Elena, chops onions at the kitchen table in her final days of pregnancy. While still in her mother's womb, her daughter weeps so violently that she causes an early labor, and little Tita slips out amid the spices and fixings for noodle soup. This early encounter with food soon becomes a way of life, and Tita grows up to be a master chef. She shares special points of her favorite preparations with listeners throughout the story.
Una novela sorprendente, inolvidable, cuyo tema gira en torno a un amor imposible para cuya consecución la protagonista recurrirá a las artes culinaras. Bajo la apariencia de un folletÃn por entregas y encabezando cada capÃtulo con una receta, esta historia mágica convierte la gastronomÃa en un código de sensualidad cargado de penetrantes aromas, de colores deslumbrantes. Tita es la pequeña, vive en un rancho con sus hermanas y sus sirvientas, y pese a saberse condenada a no poder gozar del amor por tener que hacerse cargo de su madre, no renunciará a Pedro. Él también la ama, pero no se casará con su hermana Rosaura para poder seguir cerca de ella. Tita se refugia en la cocina y se entrega a la elaboración de platos mágicos capaces de transformar las emociones y el comportamiento de quienes los prueban, a la espera de que su trágico destino se cumpla
