Overview
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, además de construir narrativamente la novela, puntean el paso de las estaciones de su vida, siempre marcada por la presente ausencia de Pedro. Como agua para chocolate es una agridulce comedia de amores y desencuentros, una obra chispeante, tierna y pletórica de talento que se ha convertido en uno de los mayores éxitos de la literatura latinoamericana.
«Como agua para chocolate es una deliciosa historia sobre el amor y la pasión, la tradición y la buena comida. A medio camino entre la novela por entregas y el libro de recetas, es una comedia de amores y desamores, recetas de cocina y remedios caseros.» --ABC
