About this listen
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.

Outstanding story
I had tremendously enjoyed the movie and had high hopes for this audiobook. Narrator was very good. I wish the production had done the author justice, I could have done without the surimposition of music or sound effects at times, which were not always on the mark, that was distracting, not in a good way.
I would recommend this book.
