Come l'acqua per il cioccolato

Questa serie si addentra nel cuore di una famiglia messicana, dove la cucina diventa un regno di magia ed emozione. Ogni piatto racconta una storia, intrecciando amore, perdita e tradizione in un ricco arazzo di vita. Le narrazioni sono immerse in un incanto terroso, un tenero romanticismo e un'arguzia agrodolce. È una celebrazione della vita, della famiglia e del potere del cibo di connettere le anime.
