We start this new year in Mexico!
Our first 2026 reading will be "Like Water for Chocolate" by Laura Esquivel.

About the Book
Like Water for Chocolate is a sensuous, magical tale set in early 20th-century Mexico, where emotions simmer as intensely as the dishes prepared in the family kitchen.
Through Tita, a young woman bound by tradition, yet full of passion, Laura Esquivel blends romance, food, and magical realism to explore love, family expectations, and personal freedom.
Told through monthly recipes, the novel invites us into a world where cooking becomes an act of resistance, emotion, and connection.

Laura Esquivel is a Mexican novelist, screenwriter, and former politician. Like Water for Chocolate is her internationally acclaimed debut novel that brought her worldwide recognition.
