Gertrudis lanzó una plegaria en silencia y con los ojos cerrados, pidiendo que Tita viviera muchos años más cocinando las recetas de la familia. Ni ella ni Rosaura tenían los conocimientos para hacerlos, por lo tanto el día que Tita muriera moriría junto a ella el pasado de su familia.
El mérito de la novela yace en lo evocativo de su lenguaje. El encuadre narrativo de las recetas tradicionales que hacen aparecer las historias de dolor y pasión de la familia es una forma original de dar a entender que la comida no es solo comida, ni nutrición, sino que se trata de un elemento intrínseco en la cultura. Unión, sabor, historia y familia. Fuera de esto, la novela cae plana en su romance central y por ende, la fuerza motivadora del personaje principal, Tita. No logré empatizar.
Moderate: Child abuse and Emotional abuse
Minor: Rape and Violence

Quiero empezar con lo obvio: La Mamá Elena es la villana principal de este cuento. Es una madre egoísta, narcisista, y abusiva. A causa de ella, dos de sus tres hijas tuvieron que pasar su adultez en desprecio y miseria, también destruyó la relación entre las hermanas. Me parecía interesante ver el desarrollo de Rosaura, y cómo fue convirtiéndose en su madre. Igual de egoísta, igual de narcisista y abusiva
Para terminar, quiero notar que este libro tiene momentos muy… sensuales, digamos. Más de una vez, las personas se ponen cachondas después de comer la comida de Tita (la comida de Tita literally made Gertudis’ pussy throb).
¿Que fue creativo? Sí. ¿Que fue ridículo y un poco perturbador? También que sí. ¿Que si me gustó este libro? Sí. ¿Que me lo voy a guardar? Quizás. ¿Que lo recomiendo? Sí, sin duda.
