Lovedeach chapter would start with a recipe and then for the rest of the chapter we would like learn how to make that recipe and the style of cooking the method however they were preparing this dish had something really profound and intimate to do with what was going on in the plot and I thought that was so cool
Lovedone of the reasons Like Water for Chocolate is a favorite of mine personally is because of how beautifully it's written esel's Pros is deceptively simple because beneath her Clarity is a depth that reveals itself through motifs and symbolism
