The first novel of Mexican novelist Laura Esquivel published in 1989 by 7th Dimension Entertainment Co., Inc. and later translated in 1992 by Carol and Thomas Christensen. This novel depicts a love story of forbidden true love that never died. The story takes place along the Mexico/U.S. Border during the height of the Mexican Revolution at the De La Garza ranch where the story of Tita de la Garza and her true love Pedro Muzquiz unfolds. Tita was the youngest of three daughters to Mama Elena. As part of the De La Garza tradition Tita was never to marry as her destiny was to take care of her mother until the day that she died. Many saw this tradition as ridiculous and absurd but to Mama Elena no one was going to abandon the tradition especially not one of her daughters. Times were different during these times and there was not much freedom given to young ladies that came from a descent family. Mama Elena was respected by all as an authority figure at the ranch but as a mother was feared because of her cruel and controlling demeanor. Mama Elena a strong, firm woman that would show little emotion towards her daughters.…

The will to defy order in society spurs chaos, but eventually, this chaos emerges as the new order. Chaos and order seem to contrast by definition. However, I hypothesize that chaos and order both reinforce each other after analyzing Like Water for Chocolate, by Laura Esquivel, and Oryx and Crake, by Margaret Atwood. Particularly, Like Water for Chocolate tells the life story of Tita de la Garza and her struggle to acquire her love, Pedro Muzquiz. The diction that Esquivel uses to narrate the preparation of specific Mexican dishes illustrate the emotions that the characters experience, and they reveal the adverse effects of unrequited love on our life. That is to say, each diverse dish represents a particular event of Tita’s life, and the recipes and remedies that…
My wife and I love to cook and especially love to make sweet things. Every year around late April or early May, we travel past Marble Falls to Sweet Berry Farms and hand pick strawberries to make our favorite sweet treats. My wife is somewhat of an expert in the making of strawberry jam and I dabble in desserts made with chocolate; strawberries dipped in milk, dark, and white chocolate are my personal favorites. I am not a professionally trained chef and don’t know much about how foods react to and inter-act with each other in a culinary or scientific manner, all I know is I really like to dip things in chocolate. My problem I had was that my chocolates kept burning, even though I was using the same method (double boiling) to melt each type of chocolate. I couldn’t understand why each of them reacted differently to the same method of heating (physical stimuli).…

After Pedro and Rosaura’s marriage, Tita is acknowledged for her first anniversary as the ranch cook. To congratulate Tita, Pedro hands a bouquet of roses to her. Tita, making her way to the kitchen, holds Pedro’s roses so tightly that “the roses, which had been mostly pink, had turned quite red from the blood that was flowing from Tita’s hands and breasts” (48). Pedro’s roses for Tita show the romantic relationship he wants to have with her, however, his love has harmful consequences shown through the blood coming from Tita’s chest. Blood indicates pain or hurt to the affected person. Likewise, Tita’s blood from the roses represent the pain and damage of her heart, resulting from Pedro’s love for her. Instead of throwing the blood petals away, Tita uses them to make a quail dish for the family gathering. When Tita finished eating her dish, her reaction was startling, for “Tita wasn’t there, even though her body was sitting up quite properly in her chair; there wasn’t the slightest sign of life in her eyes” (52). Tita’s lifelessness is one detrimental effect of Pedro’s love for her. She ate the quail, containing the bloody red rose petals representing Pedro’s painful love. When she consumed his love and the pain, it left her lifeless and dead. Pedro’s love in the end had only destroyed Tita. Pedro’s bouquet of roses that bled Tita and sucked the life out of…
