Tita de la Garza and Pedro Múzquiz are two souls deeply in love, yet unable to be together due to entrenched family customs. Together they navigate a world of magical realism and rich flavors as Tita struggles between the destiny imposed on her by her family and her fight for love.

Tita's greatest refuge is the kitchen, where her magical connection to cooking becomes an active resistance against oppression, allowing her to channel her deepest desires and passions into her recipes, transforming those who taste them.
