Summary

And just as a poet plays with words, she played at will with the ingredients and with the quantities, obtaining phenomenal results. We don't always have the ingredients of happiness at hand. Tita had learned it since she was a child, when she grew up in the kitchen with Nacha and was denied any possibility of her own life since birth. But what Tita also learned is that ingredients are not the most important thing to cook a good dish, but all the love with which you are able to do it. But Tita realized that her dishes didn't just have the power to dazzle with their flavors and textures. Their sadness, their joy, their desire or their pain when preparing them were irremediably contagious to everyone who tried them. Through this alegora that links with teacher the feelings and the culinary elements, Laura Esquivel conquers the parnassus of literature, building a story that is based on the tradition of magical realism, is recreated in Mexican culture and that transcends all the above to become a universal novel, a part of the collective imaginary, a classic.
