    Like Water for Chocolate is based on the novel by Laura Esquival. The book was previously adapted as a movie in 1992.

    Salma Hayek Pinault produced the Spanish-language series via her Ventanarosa Productions. In the show, Tita (Azul Guaita) and Pedro (Andres Baida) fall in love as children.

    But, when they grow up, Tita's mother (Irene Azuela) commits Tita's sister (Ana Valeria Becerril) to marry Pedro. Tita expresses her emotions in the kitchen.

    The trailer shows many romantic shots of Tita making fritters, cakes and entrees.
