When Andr\u00e9s Baida and Louis David Horn\u00e9 interpreted the second and last season of ‘Como agua para chocolate’, set in the Mexican Revolution (1910-1917), they understood that the real “revolution” did not begin with a gun, but inside the kitchens, in the hands of cooks like Tita de la Garza.<\/p>\n
“The real revolution starts in the kitchen (…) That is the most important thing to portray in this story: to see how Tita revolutionizes everything from the inside and how she breaks those traditions that are holding this family back,” Baida told EFE about this period of the dictatorship, in which women took up arms, but also transformed customs. This is how she summarizes the end of the series ‘Como agua para chocolate’ (Like Water for Chocolate).<\/p>\n

The character of Tita was created by Mexican writer Laura Esquivel for her novel of the same name, published in 1989. In this production headed by Salma Hayek, actress Azul Guaita plays this woman who grows up between the magic of the kitchen and the social impositions of Mam\u00e1 Elena (Irene Azuela), victim of some of the most repudiatory crimes of machismo.<\/p>\n
