Between Two Fires: Intimate Writings on Life, Love, Food & Flavor

Between Two Fires: Intimate Writings on Life, Love, Food & Flavor

Stephen Lytle
3.6/5 ( ratings)
""The return to the kitchen was not easy. I wanted my daughter to know her past, to eat what I had eaten in my childhood; however, I quickly realized that I no longer remembered my family's recipes....I forced myself to try and remember a recipe on my own. And that is how I discovered, as I had already known in my childhood, that it was possible to hear voices in the kitchen."" Mexican novelist Laura Esquivel leapt to international fame with "Like Water for Chocolate." With millions of copies sold in hardcover and paperback, and with the phenomenal success of the movie, it is truly one of the most beloved stories of the last decade. In her latest book, "Between Two Fires," Laura Esquivel continues to sustain us on levels beyond the physical.
"Between Two Fires" is a wonderful collection of the best of her passionate speeches, short writings, and recipes from the last decade or so, most never published in English. Funny, poignant, imaginative, and insightful, Esquivel muses on all the topics we have come to associate with her -- love, life, family, and of course, the importance of food in all aspects of the human experience -- while also giving us a rare look at what makes her tick. Beautifully illustrated with delightful drawings, this gem is the perfect gift book for her many fans, as well as for foodies and readers of Latin literature everywhere.
