Along the way, the audience will witness her greatest refuge: the kitchen. For Tita, 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.
Set during the Mexican Revolution, the series also addresses the struggle of women to control their own destinies. The breathtaking locations in Tlaxcala and Mexico City provide an authentic and powerful backdrop for this adaptation of a beloved Mexican literary classic.
Leading the exceptional cast is Irene Azuela as Mamá Elena, with Azul Guaita portraying the beloved character of Tita. Ana Valeria Becerril gives life to Rosaura, Tita's sister and rival in love, while Andrea Chaparro plays Gertrudis, another sister of Tita's. Andrés Baida plays Pedro, the object of both Tita and Rosaura's affections, Ángeles Cruz plays Nacha, Tita's cook and mentor. Mauricio García Lozano appears as Don Pedro Múzquiz, Ari Brickman is Don Felipe Múzquiz, and Louis David Horné as Juan Alejandrez.
