30-Day Book Challenge: Day 28

LAST BOOK I READ
Today's and tomorrow's questions must be among the simplest in the challenge. Thank God for small mercies!

All my friends who had read this food have only had very good things to say about it. So it was hardly a matter of time before I was ready to pick up the book myself. The title, Like Water for Chocolate, sounded familiar. Once I began reading it, I realised why... I had written about this book's cinematic adaptation in an article about Spanish food-related movies. This is the story of Tita - her joys and sorrows - which are often expressed through food and the kitchen. Women, all over the world, have traditionally been associated with their kitchens. This book used the same idea, but in a innovative way. So you have the story of a woman's life interspersed with recipes (that look very promising) and directions on how to cook... magic realism and culinary lessons blend without a hitch into the story line.
It's easy to finish the book in one go. I did... though I wish I had copied the recipes before I gave the book back.
