Publisher's Summary

Escucha el best seller que encandiló al mundo. Una novela que sabe a clásico. No siempre tenemos a mano los ingredientes de la felicidad. Tita lo había aprendido desde pequeña, cuando crecía en la cocina con Nacha y se le negaba toda posibilidad de vida propia desde su nacimiento. Pero lo que también es que los ingredientes no son lo más importante para cocinar un buen plato, sino todo el amor con que seas capaz de hacerlo. Pero Tita se dio cuenta de que sus platos no solo tenían el poder de deslumbrar por sus sabores y texturas. Su tristeza, su alegría, su deseo o su dolor a la hora de prepararlos se contagiaban irremediablemente a todo aquel que los probaba. A través de esta alegoría que vincula con maestría los sentimientos y los elementos culinarios, Laura Esquivel conquistó el parnaso de la literatura hace veinticinco años construyendo un relato que se asienta en la tradición del realismo mágico, se recrea en la cultura mexicana y que traspasa todo lo anterior para convertirse en una novela universal.

Y así como un poeta juega con las palabras, así ella jugaba a su antojo con los ingredientes y con las cantidades, obteniendo resultados fenomenales.

Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

Not for me yet beautiful. Often disjointed.

Each chapter felt like a short story with very little build up. though connected events would happen sp quickly it felt disjointed. appreciated the imagery and recipes and family theme. Emotions aplenty, ie the title. Not for me . Beautiful.

Un favorito

He leido este libro en ingles y espanol. Fue mi primer audiobook en espanol y a mi me encanto. Excelente historia. Hay mucha passion y fantasia. Cuando lo lei, me senti una conexion muy fuerte por los personajes y la historia. Sigue siendo asi cuando lo escuche. Yareli es una narradora muy buena. Me gusto mucho su interpretacion. Fue muy interesante oir un libro con music en algunas partes tambien. Estoy muy feliz tener otra version de este libro en mi coleccion.

I have read this book in both English and Spanish. This was my first audiobook in Spanish and I loved it. It's a beautiful story with lost of passion and fantasy. When I first read this, I felt a strong connection to the characters and the story. I felt the same way while listening to this book. Yareli is a good narrator. I really liked her performance. It was interesting listing to an audiobook with music playing in some parts. I'm very happy to have another version of this story in my collection.

Un Clásico Total

Debe de ser un requisito para todo el mundo, pero su forma original en español no tiene igual. Puedo escucharlo a millón de veces y aún seguir disfrutando.

Awesome narrator!

I believe she played Rosaura in the original movie... she does an amazing job with the voices of the different characters.

Excellent book, the narrator forgets their Spanish

This is a classic. A beautiful story. Overall, the narrator is good and sounds native but at odd intervals they seem to forget how to pronounce Spanish and have the distinct accent of an American learning Spanish.

Como un abrazo a mis oídos💟.

Me doy cuenta de lo fiel que fue la película a la novela porque prácticamente está todo aquí. Vaya detallazo el escuchar a la actriz que interpreta a Rosaura como la narradora 👌🏻. No tengo mucho qué decir, me encantó, me hizo hasta añorar una época en la que nunca viví.
