Like Water For Chocolate

In the novel Like Water for Chocolate everything that Tita is feeling goes into her food. She makes Turkey Mole for her baby nephews party. She loves him so much, and is so happy taking care of him that she puts those feelings into the food. Everyone who eats her food that night at the party feels happier then usual without understanding why.

It is also possible to say that Tita's food is so good because she is so selfless. She takes care of her mother, her sister, her sister's husband(whom she loves), and her nephew. She never asks for anything in return, but to be close to the man she loves. She does not even ask to be with him; she only wants to take care of him and her nephew. That could be why her sister and mother can not cook like her. She cooks so well because she has such strong emotions, and so much passion.
