This book was an interesting blend of Ancient and more recent Mexican history, an autobiography of the author and short stories, combined with recipes for food and how food affects our lives, and excerpts from her most famous book "Like Water for Chocolate". She has a great way of thinking esp when she compares the making of bread to religion. Although I enjoyed reading it, I think I prefer "Like Water for Chocolate" or her cookbook "An Appetite for Passion".

Like Water for Chocolate is one of my favorite books, but this collection really fell short for me.
