Food is a major component in expressing Tita's feelings, which she is incapable in doing well, without the flavor of her food.
Due to traditional confinements, Tita is unable to express herself, and she communicates her feelings to her family with the food she cooks. There are many examples of this seen throughout the book, such as when Tita creates the ox-tail soup that is made with her love and care so her mother could get better, or the lust that accompanied the flowers that Tita used that was from Pedro.
Tita allows her family to feel what she is feeling through her recipes, which is important for Tita's self-expression of her internal flame.
