Like Water for Chocolate

“In Tita's kitchen, ordinary spices become a recipe for passion.”

Tita (Lumi Cavazos) is the youngest daughter in a Mexican ranch family, and the family custom says she must stay unmarried to care for her mother, Mamá Elena (Regina Torné). When Pedro (Marco Leonardi), the man she loves, marries her sister instead, Tita pours herself into the kitchen. Alfonso Arau follows what she cooks, and whatever she feels while cooking passes to everyone who eats it.
