Mexican writer Laura Esquivel's first novel "Like Water for Chocolate" was published in 1989. The book was translated into many languages immediately after its publication and was a New York Times bestseller for more than a year. The film based on the novel further increased the popularity of the book, which was accompanied by a scandal: "Like Water for Chocolate" was banned in 2005 at Arrowhead High School in Merton, Wisconsin (USA) at the initiative of a parent who believed that the book contained a naturalistic description of sexual arousal and to many passages of a similar kind; In 2012, it was banned from Nampa High School in Idaho because it was deemed too profane for students. One of the parents even called the book perverted. "As water is to chocolate" - this famous Mexican expression expresses the state of a very upset or angry person, which can be compared to chocolate boiling over boiling water. A gracefully chosen title and the story of the main character - Tita, told with artistic means characteristic of magical realism, with recipes for exotic dishes included in the novel as characters, make the book an interesting, pleasant and soulful read.
