Summary
Escucha el best seller que encandiló al mundo. Una novela que sabe a clásico. 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 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. A través de esta alegoría que vincula con maestría los sentimientos y los elementos culinarios, Laura Esquivel conquistó el parnaso de la literatura hace veinticinco años construyendo un relato que se asienta en la tradición del realismo mágico, se recrea en la cultura mexicana y que traspasa todo lo anterior para convertirse en una novela universal.
Y así como un poeta juega con las palabras, así ella jugaba a su antojo con los ingredientes y con las cantidades, obteniendo resultados fenomenales.

Realismo mágico sin pasarse
Es una novela original, curiosa y bien narrada. La escritora sorprende al lector con giros inesperados. Los personajes están bien construidos y la historia te engancha. Cada capítulo empieza con una receta de cocina, y quizá eso es lo que menos me ha gustado. La parte muy típica en las novelas latinoamericanas de realismo mágico, es bastante asumible, se integra bien en el contexto.

Excruciating story of the entitled Tita
This book is all about Tita. Tita starts out age 15 and has fallen in love with herself but pretends she’s in love with Pedro. She is so entitled that she never realises her self-deception, seemingly unable to grow up. The toe curling account of Tita’s disastrous love life, from which she retreats into the bolt-hole of the kitchen, vies with her catastrophic Mexican recipes as the most disastrous aspect of the novel.
