Title: A Fantasy / Love Story / Cookbook
Review: "Like Water for Chocolate" is a fun book that mixes fantasy story-telling with a love story -- and throws in an authentic Mexican recipe with each chapter! It's a little bizarre, but it's just a lot of fun to read and the recipes look delicious.The story is about a Mexican girl who has been told that since she is her mother's youngest daughter, she can never marry. She must take care of her mother until her mother dies. As a result, she spends most of her time growing up in the kitchen and becomes a magnificent cook.As fate would have it, she meets a young man and falls in love. When the young man (Pedro) asks for her hand in marriage, he's told that Tita cannot marry but he can marry her sister. Pedro does just that in order to stay close to Tita. This love affair lasts throughout their lives.Highly recommended. This classic can be read in 1 day.
