"Y asi como un poeta juega con las palabras, asi ella jugaba a su antojo con los ingredientes y con las cantidades, obteniendo resultados fenomenales." No siempre tenemos a mano los ingredientes de la felicidad. Tita lo habia aprendido desde pequena, cuando crecia en la cocina con Nacha y se le negaba toda posibilidad de vida propia desde su nacimiento. Pero lo que tambien aprendio Tita es que los ingredientes no son lo mas importante para cocinar un buen plato, sino todo el amor con que seas capaz de hacerlo.Pero Tita se dio cuenta de que sus platos no solo tenian el poder de deslumbrar por sus sabores y texturas. Su tristeza, su alegria, su deseo o su dolor a la hora de prepararlos se contagiaban irremediablemente a todo aquel que los probaba.A traves de esta alegoria que vincula con maestria los sentimientos y los elementos culinarios, Laura Esquivel conquisto el parnaso de la literatura, construyendo un relato que se asienta en la tradicion del realismo magico, se recrea en la cultura mexicana y que traspasa todo lo anterior para convertirse en una novela universal, una parte del imaginario colectivo, un clasico.
