Descrizione

153 pages. Published in 2000. Collection of pieces on subject. Intended by the author as the "essayistic" version and sequel to her ground-breaking novel, "Like Water for Chocolate", it is one of the finest books on its subject ever written. The first appearance of the title in English and in the United States. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. "In all of these essays, Esquivel reflects on the essential way that food connects people to the important, spiritual aspects of life, often promoting her ideal of the New Man who 'will give equal value to production and reproduction, to reason and emotion, to the intimate and the public, to the material and the spiritual'. She employs her characteristic blend of anecdotes and Mexican recipes. Other works are more philosophical and describe the time the author gave up chocolate as a political statement, among other things. Esquivel has a strong, distinctive voice and a passion for her subject" (Publishers Weekly). A sumptuous delight. A "must-have" title for Laura Esquivel collectors.
