Tita is the youngest daughter in a Mexican family bound by tradition — she cannot marry because she must care for her mother until the mother dies. So she cooks. And everything she feels goes into the food and everyone who eats it feels it too. A novel about the female body as the site of both repression and revolution. Mexico as a place where desire and duty have been at war for centuries, mostly in the kitchen.
