Synopsis
Earthy, magical, and utterly charming, this tale of family life in turn-of-the-century Mexico became a best-selling phenomenon with its winning blend of poignant romance and bittersweet wit. The classic love story takes place on the De la Garza ranch, as the tyrannical owner, Mama Elena, chops onions at the kitchen table in her final days of pregnancy. While still in her mother's womb, her daughter to be weeps so violently she causes an early labor, and little Tita slips out amid the spices and fixings for noodle soup. This early encounter with food soon becomes a way of life, and Tita grows up to be a master chef. She shares special points of her favorite preparations with listeners throughout the story.

    I purchased a book that I was having trouble finding. Charles had the copy in FABULOUS condition for an even more FABULOUS price! He was quick to respond, and even offered me a free t-shirt from his shop when I failed to see his discounted offer in time (silly on my end lol). He shipped it immediately and included a personal handwritten letter with a very securely wrapped and marked ‘fragile’ package. 1000000/10 service! Thank you so much, Charles!
