Like Water for Chocolate (Spanish: Como agua para chocolate) is a novel by Mexican novelist and screenwriter Laura Esquivel.[1] It was first published in Mexico in 1989.[2] The English version of the novel was published in 1992.[3]

The novel follows the story of a young woman named Tita, who longs for her beloved, Pedro, but can never have him because of her mother's upholding of the family tradition: the youngest daughter cannot marry, but instead must take care of her mother until she dies. Tita is only able to express herself when she cooks.

Esquivel employs magical realism to combine the supernatural with the ordinary throughout the novel.[4]

The novel won the American Booksellers Book of the Year Award for Adult Trade in 1994.[5]

Plot
Like Water for Chocolate is divided into 12 chapters, one for each month of the year, and each chapter comes with a Mexican recipe that correlates to a specific event in the protagonist's life.[6]

Tita de la Garza, the protagonist, is 15 years old at the beginning of the novel. She lives on a ranch near the Mexico-United States border with her domineering mother, Mama Elena, her older sisters Gertrudis and Rosaura; Nacha, the ranch cook; and Chencha, the ranch maid.

Pedro Muzquiz is their neighbor, with whom Tita falls in love at first sight at a family Christmas party. The feeling turns out to be mutual, so Pedro asks Mama Elena for Tita’s hand in marriage. Unfortunately, she forbids it, citing the de la Garza family tradition that the youngest daughter (in this case, Tita) must remain single and take care of her mother until she (Mama Elena) dies. She suggests that Pedro marry Tita's eldest sister, Rosaura, instead. In order to stay close to Tita, Pedro decides to follow this advice.

Tita has a deep connection with food and cooking thanks to Nacha, who was Tita's primary caretaker growing up. Her love for cooking also comes from the fact that she was born in the kitchen.

Mama Elena forces Tita to help Nacha prepare the meal for Rosaura's wedding reception. While preparing the wedding cake, Tita is overcome with sadness, and cries into the cake batter. At the wedding reception, everyone except for Tita gets violently sick after eating the wedding cake, vomiting everywhere. Suspecting that Tita put an emetic into the wedding cake, Mama Elena violently beats Tita. On the day of the wedding, Tita finds Nacha lying dead on her bed, holding a picture of her fiancé.

Later, Rosaura becomes pregnant and gives birth to a son, Roberto, which Tita delivers on her own. Rosaura is unable to nurse Roberto while recovering from pregnancy complications (eclampsia), so Tita brings a hungry Roberto to her breast to stop him from crying since he won't drink tea or cow's milk. Tita begins producing breast milk and is able to nurse Roberto. This brings her and Pedro closer than ever. They begin meeting secretly around the ranch behind the family's backs.

Tita pours her intense emotions into her cooking, unintentionally affecting those around her. After Tita makes quail in rose petal sauce for dinner one evening (flavored with Tita’s erotic thoughts of Pedro), Gertrudis becomes so inflamed with lust that she sweats pink, rose-scented sweat; when she goes to cool off in the shower, her body gives off so much heat that the shower's tank water evaporates before reaching her body and the shower itself catches fire. As Gertrudis runs out of the burning shower naked, she is carried away on horseback by revolutionary captain Juan Alejandrez, who is drawn to her from the battlefield by her rosy scent; they make love atop Juan's horse as they gallop away from the ranch. Gertrudis is later revealed to be working as a prostitute in a brothel on the border and is subsequently disowned by her mother.

Rosaura, Pedro and Roberto are forced to move to San Antonio at Mama Elena's insistence, who suspects a relationship between Tita and Pedro. Roberto dies soon after the move and Rosaura later must undergo a hysterectomy due to complications occurring during the birth of her daughter, Esperanza. Upon hearing of her nephew's death, Tita, who cared for Roberto herself, blames her mother, who responds by smacking Tita across the face with a wooden spoon, thus breaking her nose. Tita, destroyed by the death of her nephew and unwilling to further cope with her mother's controlling ways, secludes herself in the dovecote until John Brown, the widowed family doctor, arrives at Mama Elena's request to have him take Tita to an insane asylum. Instead, John takes Tita back to his home to live with him and his young son, Alex.

Tita and John soon fall in love, but her underlying feelings for Pedro do not waver. At the ranch, a group of bandits invade the home and rape Chencha, and Mama Elena suffers a paralyzing injury. As such, Tita returns home to take care of Mama Elena. After Tita returns back to the ranch, Mama Elena becomes convinced that Tita is poisoning her out of spite and begins drinking ipecac to induce vomiting, making her sickly and eventually causing her passing. While going through her mother's things, Tita discovers that Mama Elena had an affair with a mixed-race man, leading to the birth of Gertrudis.

After Mama Elena’s death, Tita accepts John’s marriage proposal. While John travels to the United States to retrieve his aunt Mary for the wedding, Tita loses her virginity to Pedro. Afterwards, she becomes increasingly anxious that she is pregnant with Pedro’s child. Her mother's ghost haunts her, telling her that she and her unborn child are cursed. Gertrudis, now married to Juan Alejandrez and a general in the army, returns to the ranch with her troops to cut the Three Kings' Day bread and mentions Tita's pregnancy in Pedro's presence, leaving Tita and Pedro to consider running away together. This causes Pedro to get drunk and sing a love song below Tita’s window while she is arguing with Mama Elena’s ghost. Just as she confirms she isn't pregnant (due to a late period) and frees herself of her mother's grasp once and for all, Mama Elena's ghost gets revenge on Tita by setting Pedro on fire, leaving him badly burnt and bedridden. Meanwhile, as Tita is preparing dinner for John and his aunt Mary, she and Rosaura argue over Pedro, Esperanza, and Rosaura's intention to have Esperanza remain single and care for Rosaura until her death, per the family tradition, which Tita detests. She vows not to let the tradition ruin Esperanza's life as it did hers. At dinner, Tita tells John that she cannot marry him because of her affair with Pedro.

Many years later, John's son Alex and Esperanza are engaged, and Tita prepares for their wedding, after Rosaura has died from digestive problems. During the wedding, Pedro proposes to Tita saying that he does not want to “die without making [Tita] [his] wife”.[7] Tita accepts and Pedro dies making love to her in the kitchen storage room right after the wedding. Tita is overcome with sorrow and cold and begins to eat a box of candles. The candles are sparked by the heat of Pedro's memory, creating a spectacular fire that engulfs them both, eventually consuming the entire ranch.[a]

The narrator of the story is Esperanza's daughter, nicknamed Tita after her great-aunt. She describes how, after the fire, the only thing that survived under the smoldering rubble of the ranch was Tita's cookbook, which contained all the recipes described in the preceding chapters.

Themes

The role of women
The novel is a parody of periodicals published for women during the 19th century. These periodicals would publish fiction for women, alongside recipes and advice for homemaking.[8][9] The ideal of womanhood as represented in the book is a woman who is stronger and more clever than the men in her life, pious, and who is in control of food and sex, as embodied by Mama Elena; Gertrudis and Tita subvert the ideal, while Rosaura tries and fails to uphold the ideal.[8]

Self-growth
At the beginning of the novel, Tita has been a generally submissive young lady. As the novel progresses, Tita learns to disobey the injustice of her mother, and gradually becomes more and more adept at expressing her inner fire through various means. Cooking through enlightenment she learned to express her feelings, and cope with her mother.

Violence
Mama Elena often resorts to violence as she forces Tita to obey her. Many of the responsibilities she imposes on Tita, especially those relating to Pedro and Rosaura's wedding, are blatant acts of cruelty, given Tita's pain over losing Pedro. Mama Elena meets Tita's slightest protest with angry tirades and beatings. If she even suspects that Tita has not fulfilled her duties, she beats her. One example is when she thought that Tita intentionally ruined the wedding cake. When Tita dares to stand up to her mother, blaming her for Roberto's death, Mama Elena smacks her across the face, breaking her nose. Since Mama Elena must protect herself and her family from bandits and revolutionaries, her cruelty could be interpreted for strength. Then again, Tita's later illusions indicate that Mama Elena's actions were far from typical and deeply scarred Tita.

Passion
The romantic love that is so exalted throughout the novel is forbidden by Tita's mother in order to blindly enforce the tradition that the youngest daughter be her mother's chaste guardian. However, the traditional etiquette enforced by Mama Elena is defied progressively throughout the novel. This parallels the setting of the Mexican Revolution growing in intensity. The novel further parallels the Mexican Revolution because during the Mexican Revolution the power of the country was in the hands of a select few and the people had no power to express their opinions. Likewise, in Like Water for Chocolate, Mama Elena represents the select few who had the power in their hands, while Tita represents the people because she had no power to express her opinions but had to obey her mother's rules.

Rebellion
Tita is born in the kitchen—a place that foreshadows her calling. Due to the tradition that requires the youngest daughter to care for her mother, Mama Elena forbids Tita from falling in love, marrying, or becoming pregnant, forcing her to work in the kitchen. As she becomes a young woman, Tita appears to conform to the gender role her mother expects; however, Tita rebels, creatively devising a way in which she can express her suppressed feelings and emotions through her cooking. She has the magical ability to send her desires and emotions into the food she prepares. Tita bakes the wedding cake for her sister Rosaura and the man she wishes she was marrying, Pedro. Deeply depressed about the fact that her sister is marrying her one true love, she places her feelings of despair and sadness into the wedding cake. When the guests eat the cake, they weep over their lost loves and eventually became intoxicated and sick. Another example of her inclusion of suppressed emotions into her cooking is when Tita’s blood infects the rose sauce and quail dinner that she serves to Pedro, Rosaura, and Gertrudis. Rosaura becomes physically ill while Getrudis is instantly aroused. Finally, as a result of Pedro devouring this food, he becomes aware of Tita’s feelings and has a better understanding of the passion and love that she has for him. Even though Tita is not allowed to share her intimate feelings, she conveys her passions to the world through the action of cooking and sharing her food.[10]

Food
Food is also one of the major themes in the story which is seen throughout the story. It is used very creatively to represent the characters' feelings and situations. Due to the magical nature of food in the story, it has literal effects on the people eating the food in terms of infusing the cook Tita's emotions into the food which are thus transferred beyond the food into the hearts and minds of those who devour it. The writer describes the impact of food on her narrative as "I wrote my novel with the intention that the love that is transmitted to food in the kitchen should be appreciated as it deserves, because I believe that anyone, just like Tita in my novel, can transmit emotions to food, and moreover to everything, that is, to each and every one of the activities they carry out day by day. When emotions are transmitted, the effect is very strong, it cannot be passed over. Others feel it, touch it and savour it."[11]

Meaning of title
Like Water for Chocolate's full title is: Like Water for Chocolate: A novel in monthly installments with recipes, romances and home remedies.[12]

The phrase "like water for chocolate" comes from the Spanish phrase como agua para chocolate.[12] This is a common expression in many Spanish-speaking countries, and it means that one's emotions are on the verge of boiling over. In some Latin American countries, such as Mexico, hot chocolate is made not with milk, but with near-boiling water instead.

Publication history
Like Water for Chocolate has been translated from the original Spanish into numerous languages; the English translation is by Carol and Thomas Christensen.[13] The novel has sold close to a million copies in Spain and Hispanic America and at last count, in 1993, more than 202,000 copies in the United States.[13]

“Like Water for Chocolate,” HBO’s upcoming series adaptation of Laura Esquivel’s Mexican literary classic executive produced by Salma Hayek Pinault, has released its official trailer.

Set during the Mexican Revolution in the early 20th century, the six-episode series follows Tita de la Garza (Azul Guaita) and Pedro Múzquiz (Andrés Baida), “two souls deeply in love, yet unable to be together due to entrenched family customs,” according to the show’s synopsis. “The protagonists navigate a world of magical realism and rich flavors as Tita struggles between the destiny imposed on her by her family and her fight for love. Along the way, the audience will witness her greatest refuge: the kitchen. For Tita, her magical connection to cooking becomes an active resistance against oppression, allowing her to channel her deepest desires and passions into her recipes, transforming those who taste them.”

Hayek Pinault, who executive produced the series through her Ventanarosa Productions banner, told Variety that after six years of development, it is “so satisfying to finally see it on screen.”

“‘Like Water for Chocolate’ is a true jewel of Latin American literature and film,” Hayek Pinault continued. “I wanted to find a new place and way to tell this story, so that a new generation can discover it and the people who already have a relationship with the story can rediscover it in a new format.”

Hayek Pinault was a “huge fan” of both Esquivel’s 1989 book and the 1992 film adaptation, which became the highest-grossing foreign-language film ever released in the United States at that time. Therefore, it was a “truly scary challenge” to take on a story that “so many people have fallen in love with,” but she hopes the new series will have the same effect with its stellar cast.

Leading the ensemble is Irene Azuela as Mamá Elena, who was initially surprised by her casting as the matriarch who forces Tita to take care of her until she dies. When Azuela realized the role she was being offered to play, she “laughed so much,” but then thought, “Alright, I’ve reached that age…” When digging into her character, Azuela decided to focus on “the reasons that made Mamá Elena such a harsh woman.”

Ultimately, “Like Water for Chocolate” is a story about the struggle of all of the women involved to control their own destinies, which is something both Hayek Pinault and Azuela resonated with.

“I wanted to tell a coming-of-age story that shows the passage of finding your own identity and fighting for it, detaching yourself from the anxiety of disappointing your parents and learning to take ownership of your life,” Hayek Pinault said. “Historically, these issues have been a bigger challenge for women, and while we have improved upon this greatly, equality has still not been achieved.”

Added Azuela, “I think we, as women, are still struggling to know our ways without the gaze of the others. We’ve accomplished a lot, but still are constrained by ideas that makes us feel guilty about feeling desire.”

Hayek Pinault believes the Spanish-language series will resonate not only with the Latino community — who she hopes will feel a “sense of pride” — but also with audiences around the world, as “Like Water for Chocolate” is “completely universal because it is a forbidden love story.”

“I hope this story breaks stereotypes by focusing on a family in Northern Mexico that looks different than how we normally imagine Mexicans,” Hayek Pinault added. “I hope it shows people that Mexican food is so much more than just tacos, and we have many exquisite dishes that people have never heard of, but that your mouth craves. I am excited for audiences to be transported through the series and watch the tale unfold.”

The series is an original production from Warner Bros. Discovery and is produced by Ventanarosa Productions, Endemol Shine North America and Endemol Shine Boomdog.

Sharon Levy, CEO of Endemol Shine North America and an executive producer of “Like Water for Chocolate,” said in a statement that it was “essential to find the right partners to bring Laura’s beloved novel to life in a truly authentic way.”

“Ventanarosa and Boomdog are world-class storytellers whose expertise ensured this timeless tale was told with the utmost respect and presented with beauty and quality equal to its source,” Levy continued. “We’re thrilled with the result and believe that ‘Like Water for Chocolate’ has found the perfect home on Max, and are really excited for a new generation of audiences to experience the series and hope they love it as much as we loved making it.”

And you thought your fritters were magic.

HBO has released the trailer for its latest original series, “Like Water for Chocolate,” an adaptation of Laura Esquivel’s original novel of the same name. There was a 1992 Miramax film adaptation directed by Alfonso Arau, but this is the first time Tita and Pedro’s love story was made for the small screen (though TV‘s have gotten pretty big since ’92). The series has been in development for TV since 2017.

In “Like Water for Chocolate” (the book, the movie, and now the series), Tita and Pedro are in love, but Tita’s mother condemns her for the single life. You could do that back then: “Like Water for Chocolate” is set amid the Mexican Revolution, so a bit more than a century ago. But Tita and Pedro aren’t going down without a fight — for Tita, that resistance starts in the kitchen and ends with transformations at the table.

You see, Tita makes magic in the kitchen — literally. She pours “her deepest desires and passions into her recipes, transforming those who taste them,” the logline reads. Again, this is all to be taken completely literally. Like, if she cries into cake batter, anyone who eats it is going to weep. This will all make (slightly) more sense if you watch the trailer, which is below.

This “Like Water for Chocolate” stars Irene Azuela, Azul Guaita (she’s Tita), Ana Valeria Becerril, Andrea Chaparro, Andrés Baida (he’s Pedro), Ángeles Cruz, Ari Brickman, Louis David Horné, Mauricio García Lozano, and Iván Amozurrutia.

The TV version, which will air on linear HBO and stream on Max, is directed by Julian de Tavira and Analorena Perezrios. It is executive produced by like a million people — as is the case in television these days — most notably Salma Hayek Pinault. The other EPs for her Ventanarosa Productions are Jose Tamez and Siobhan Flynn. Sharon Levy, Lisa Fahrenholt, and Flavio Morales exec produce for Endemol Shine North America, and Alejandro Rincón, Jerry Rodriguez, and Clara Machado executive produce for Endemol Shine Boomdog; Manuel Vargas oversees physical production.

You see, Tita makes magic in the kitchen — literally. She pours “her deepest desires and passions into her recipes, transforming those who taste them,” the logline reads. Again, this is all to be taken completely literally. Like, if she cries into cake batter, anyone who eats it is going to weep. This will all make (slightly) more sense if you watch the trailer, which is below.

This “Like Water for Chocolate” stars Irene Azuela, Azul Guaita (she’s Tita), Ana Valeria Becerril, Andrea Chaparro, Andrés Baida (he’s Pedro), Ángeles Cruz, Ari Brickman, Louis David Horné, Mauricio García Lozano, and Iván Amozurrutia.

The TV version, which will air on linear HBO and stream on Max, is directed by Julian de Tavira and Analorena Perezrios. It is executive produced by like a million people — as is the case in television these days — most notably Salma Hayek Pinault. The other EPs for her Ventanarosa Productions are Jose Tamez and Siobhan Flynn. Sharon Levy, Lisa Fahrenholt, and Flavio Morales exec produce for Endemol Shine North America, and Alejandro Rincón, Jerry Rodriguez, and Clara Machado executive produce for Endemol Shine Boomdog; Manuel Vargas oversees physical production. For HBO parent Warner Bros. Discovery, Mariano Cesar, Mônica Alburquerque, and Anouk Aarón are the EPs.

Francisco Javier Royo Fernández AKA “Curro Royo” is the head writer and Jerry Rodriguez is showrunner.

“Like Water for Chocolate” premieres on November 3; watch the trailer below.
