This is a beautiful book set against the backdrop of the protagonist’s favorite recipes. It tells the story of a girl, Tita, and her forbidden love for Pedro and the rigidity of her family, through her love for food and cooking. Above all, this is a passionate story about her rebellion and defiance and is in wonderfully clear Spanish.
