Synopsis
Peppered with recipes, remedies and folky digressions, this novel is a treat. The heroine of this fantastical love story, Tita, the youngest of three Mexican daughters, is expected to devote her life to her widowed mother. When her lover, Pedro, asks her to marry him, her mother denies her permission and offers Rosaura, her sister, instead. Pedro accepts in hopes of living close to Tita, but she is unaware of his intentions. When her tears get baked into the cake, and everyone has a slice, they are moved--emotionally, erotically, and physically.

Industry reviews
"A wondrous romantic tale. Esquivel has given us a banquet."
Los Angeles Times  

"'Like Water for Chocolate' is deceptively simple and simply wonderful. A story of love, sex, war, and the sweep of Mexican history that belongs to women."
Boston Globe  

"Here is a text in which culinary imagination regains its double-edged power to simultaneously get under our skin and still somehow make us hungry. When its protagonist, Tita, makes her premature entry into the world onto a 'kitchen table amid the smells of simmering noodle soup, thyme, bay leaves, and cilantro, steamed milk, garlic, and, of course, onion' in a gust of tears, one can feel the culinary novel finally coming into its own."
Simple Cooking - John Thorne
