Bestseller internacional, cuya adaptacion al cine es considerada una de las diez peliculas extranjeras mas taquilleras en Estados Unidos. La novela narra la historia de Tita de la Garza a manera de recetario, donde cada capitulo es una receta que relata las aventuras de la protagonista en una casa donde la tradicion la obliga a quedarse a cuidar a su madre, y por lo tanto, sin poderse casar nunca. Tita, excelente cocinera, expresa su enojo y rebeldia a traves de sus recetas, creando situaciones extraordinarias que involucraran tambien a los demas miembros de su familia. Al final, todos estos acontecimientos provocaran que se enciendan “todos los cerillos que llevamos en nuestro interior de un solo golpe”. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Thirty years after the publication of the best-seller Like Water for Chocolate comes Tita’s Diary, an intimate look at the life of the main character who embodies love, passion and the communication of emotions through food in early 20th Century Mexico.
