Synopsis "Como Agua Para Chocolate (in Spanish)"

Tita y Pedro se aman. Pero ella está condenada a permanecer soltera, cuidando a su madre hasta que ésta muera. Y Pedro, para estar cerca de Tita, se casa con la hermana de ella, Rosaura. Las recetas de cocina que Tita elabora puntean el paso de las estaciones de su vida, siempre marcada por la presente ausencia de Pedro. Y la acompañan en su apoteosis y en su tránsito a una sabrosa, muy sabrosa eternidad. Como agua para chocolate, "novela de entregas mensuales, con recetas, amores y remedios caseros" es una agridulce comedia de amores y desencuentros. Bajo una deliberada forma de lo que podría llamarse "folletín gastronómico", se encierra una obra chispeante, tierna y llena de talento de la mejor ley. Por todo ello, esta novela se ha convertido en una auténtica revelación y en un éxito extraordinario, "el más fulminante de la literatura iberoamericana desde Cien años de soledad".
