Tita pours all her passion into the food she makes, unable to be with the man she loves. The best part of this book is the food. I wanted to eat everything described. The novel is an interesting mix of family dynamics, magical realism, and recipes. It reads a bit like a fairy tale but is grounded in a specific place and time. Some of the writing was awkward, and I put that down to the translation. The story is a bit thin, and I wanted more. The ending felt rushed. But, oh, the food! Easy to read but pretty dumb. Not my kinda book. The food sounded good though. Very enjoyable. No siempre tenemos a mano los ingredientes de la felicidad. Tita lo había aprendido desde pequeña, cuando crecía en la cocina con Nacha y se le negaba toda posibilidad de vida propia desde su nacimiento. Pero lo que también aprendió Tita es que los ingredientes no son lo más importante para cocinar un buen plato, sino todo el amor con que seas capaz de hacerlo. Pero Tita se dio cuenta de que sus platos no solo tenían el poder de deslumbrar por sus sabores y texturas. Su tristeza, su alegría, su deseo o su dolor a la hora de prepararlos se contagiaban irremediablemente a todo aquel que los probaba. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Earthy, magical, and utterly charming, this tale of family life in turn-of-the-century Mexico became a best-selling phenomenon with its winning blend of poignant romance and bittersweet wit. The classic love story 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 to be weeps so violently 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.
