«Dolce come il cioccolato» is the romantic novel by Laura Esquivel, published by Garzanti in paperback (179 pages, in Italian).
Tita and Pedro fall in love as young people, but a family tradition forces her to care for her mother and prevents her from marrying. They live under the same roof while she channels her emotions into cooking: the dishes she prepares convey her feelings to those who taste them, and recipes and home remedies become vehicles for her passion.
First instalment of the «Como agua para chocolate» series, originally published in 1989; this Italian edition is translated by Silvia Giletti Benso.
For readers of romance and magical realism interested in stories where food channels the characters' emotions.
Laura Beatriz Esquivel Valdés is a Mexican novelist, screenwriter and former politician. Her first novel Como agua para chocolate became a bestseller in Mexico and the United States, and was later developed into an award-winning film.
