I'd heard about this one a lot and so wanted to give it a try. The story is about the youngest of three daughters who lives with a very controlling mother. When her boyfriend comes to ask the mother's permission to mary Teeda, the mother says the girl will never marry--that she is meant to care for ...more...

I read this book when I was a teenager and it is still amongst my favourites. I even used it for my GSCE English coursework! I love this book not only for the story of passion derived from a repressed love that is both tender and lustful, but also for how it explores the mysterious powers of s...more...

This now classic book is an exercise in passion for romance and food, sometimes the food builds the passion, other times it adds to the heartsickness. Three daughters are born to an overbearing mother, but it’s Tita that falls in love with Pedro and isn’t allowed to marry him because long tradit...more...

Why was this book considered, by some, a classic? It read like a smut novel to me. I enjoyed learning about Mexican culture, and this novel certainly gave me an unrealized appreciation for modern kitchen technology. It also makes me feel good about the fact that while once upon a time, women had ser...more...

Conceptually, I loved this book. Who can resist a story that is artfully blended with delicious recipes, and even includes the full recipe at each new chapter? I would like to give it the benefit of the doubt and suppose that I read a bad translation (the book is originally in Spanish) but no...I ...more...

es una telenovela mexicana incarcata [si ea] de acelasi realism magic pe care l-am intilnit la marquez, doar ca la un alt nivel. ingrediente: familie cu trecut mai putin cunoscut, o mama [elena] ca un tartor si 3 fiice din care: una fuge de acasa cu unul din revolutionarii lui pancho vill...more...

I'm starting to feel a little hyperbolic - is it wrong to rate everything you put in here as 5 stars?? But - I personally, love this book. I've never seen the movie - I heard it was alright, but not great. The book - I just love it. But maybe that is because I tend to love the whole Lati...more...

Like Water for Chocolate, by Laura Esquivel, is probably my favorite book. It is the ultimate love story. The main character, Tita, is the youngest in the family. It is tradition on her mother's side of the family for the youngest daughter to care for the mother after the father passes away. The you...more...
