Like Water For Chocolate is one of my favourite films. It is based on Laura Esquivel´s novel and directed by Alfonso Arau.
Set in Mexico during the revolutionary war, the magnificent and turbulent love story of Tita and Pedro unfolds. According to the family tradition, as the youngest daughter, it was Tita’s duty to not marry and care for her mother. Pedro, unable to stay away from Tita, accepts her mother’s offer and marries Tita’s older sister. Heart broken, Tita pours her heart into her cooking, channeling all of her passions and frustrations, which in turn were transferred to those she fed. Eventually, Tita will have to choose between following tradition or her heart

I also love this sad yet romantic love story... One of my favorites!
Good choice!
Xox,
miss F
I have'nt seen the movie but judging by the pictures I see that it's a movie that I would like!
Y precioso libro...
Feliz domingo.
Zepequeña.
Ooh I've always wanted to see this film. Now I think I am going to have to make it happen.
In my head I think I might have mixed it up with another film called 'eat drink man woman' which is Chinese and revolves around food. Have you seen that one? It is good. xxx
También es una de mis libros favoritos y una gran adaptación al cine.
Besos
No lo conocía! besos
Yes, I love this film too, the book more. I posted about it on my other blog some time ago. It's beautiful and full of love and heart ache, but it never gets tired to watch it again and again!! Happy Sunday doll, I hope it's wonderful one for you!! XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Hi Sacremento - I haven't seen the movie but it looks very interesting. Hope you are having a lovely Sunday,
Axx
I need to check this out!
Thank you for the recommendation. I'm always keen to hear about new books/films/music/cultural experiences to try xx
Sound very interesting
I never saw the film, but i read the book and was impresssed by the story an by the personality of Tita. Whenever I get the chance to see the film I will take it. She reminds of the strong confident women of ms. allendes books.
I loved both the movie and the book. Love poured in cooking recipes.
Another movie -not exactly similar but sensuous in the same way was Dona Flor and her two husbands.
Such a good movie!!!! Thanks for reminding me about it!
I've read the book and also have seen the movie a long time ago, but I don;t remember which was my favorite)
Maybe I need to re-watch and re-read them again)
That's such a beautiful movie, and a favorite of mine too. I loved the sets and costumes too., and the food looked SO good.
Hola Sacramento! Qué genial que te guste este filme, yo soy de México y la verdad es que lo amo, porque refleja muchas de nuestras costumbres gastronómicas... te recomiendo ampliamente el libro, es un viaje de realismo mágico que te va a encantar!
Thank you for the recommendation. I'll keep my eyes open for it. Also will need a.box of tissues. I'm sure the tears will flow nonstop!!!
I really love this romantic story!
Kisses, Lucy :)

Interesante,muy interesante...Bsos.
The classic star-crossed lovers... Sounds very tragic!
This has reminded me that my mum has told me several times that she thinks I would enjoy both the book and the film. I look forward to both.
Una de mis pelvis de cabecera, la vi de adolescente en el cine y me alucinó.
Un besazo.

I cannot believe I have never seen this movie. I remember when it was originally released but just never went to see it. I guess I'm more of an action movie sort of girl.
es una HERMOSURA, me impacto muchisimo la hermana que desnuda se largó en caballo e hizo de su vida lo que quizo!
saludos y gracias x las bonitas memorias de ver esta pelicula (o leer el libro) una vez, tras otra.
Thank you so much for the recommendation. I never saw this film. Looks like a very nice and interesting film.
Have a lovely week.
xx
Ay Sacra... Creo que yo no he llorado tanto como con este libro... Realmente una joya de la poesía.

I cannot remember if I have seen this film but I don't think so. The book was one of my favourites though since I was a teenager that now you have made me nostalgic! I have to see the film and cook foods with rosepetals!
xox
One of my favourites, too! I love discovering my blogging friends share the same passions! x
Me encanto el libro,su estructura la utilizacion de recetas para enumerar capitulos...ME ENCANTO!...pero la pelicula creo que deja mucho que desear y ya estoy esperando que hagan una version actual de esta obra de arte!
I follow you again, :) my blog was delete, but now its again online :)

this is a great movie, portraying love, poetry, beautiful imagery... a film that I believe reflects well some of your own qualities!
kisses and wishes of a great week
I have read the book, but not seen the movie. The book made me cry, and since I am living apart from my husband to care for my mother, I'm sure I will get hysterical if I watch the movie!
I'll definitely look for this book and film, thank you! xxxx
Yes I would say it is absolutley one of my favourite books and films too. Xxxx
