Title: a tragic life told in food
Review: food has always been a favorite metaphor for writers (and moviemakers). we have to eat to survive. in Like Water for Chocolate, food is the metaphor for the passions of Tita, the youngest of 3 daughters. Forced by her tyranical mother to forsake her true love, Tita watches as he marries her oldest sister. she pours her emotions into the food. in every chapter, her emotions are poured into the food she makes. it is only through her cooking, that Tita can express her feelings. This is a good book about the tyranny of tradition and the liberation of food. i would recmmend this book w/o reservatoionthe recipes are pretty useless to the modern cook. if you want to concot some of the food mentioned, i would check a mexican cookbook for the modern equivalent.
