Recipes
Every chapter (month) of the book Like Water For Chocolate begins with a recipe; Tita (protagonist) spends a lot of time in the kitchen. Each recipe provides some background, adding to the story. Every month / recipe includes the cooking process. Other recipes are also included as the story takes place. Recipes represent culture, family and memories. There is a recipe for every occasion; Birthdays, Holidays, and more!
Some families have secret family recipes. In my family we have a secret family recipe for kugel; which has been passed down generation to generation. Kugel is a baked pudding. It is my absolute favorite food (beside challah). Kugel is also a traditional Jewish dish; frequently served on holidays -- or when I beg request my mom to make it.
What is your favorite recipe?
My favorite recipe is my mom's coconut milk/vegetable soup. It has such a nice flavor and so filling! I can make it myself, but there is something so special about coming home from school and having her make it for me.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite recipe is when my mom makes cinnamon rolls for Christmas morning! They are so delicious and I plan on using this recipe for my family one day as well!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read your blog, but in class today you seemed really sad. I don't know what's wrong, but just try and keep your head up! Just keep swimming Just keep swimming :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Karleann! Got a call during class that my great-uncle passed away. Was a very emotionally draining and rough week -- not being with my family. I really appreciate you making sure I'm okay!
