CULINARY LITERATURE: INTERPLAY BETWEEN FOOD CULTURE AND EMOTIONS IN LAURA ESQUIVEL’S LIKE WATER FOR CHOCOLATE

Abstract

Food is not only a physiological nutritional need for the individual who was born with basic needs such as eating and sleeping, but it is also an emotional and cultural necessity. Cooking, presenting and consuming the food through diffrent practices/rituals enable every society to establish and develop its own food culture. Hence, food, which is indispensible for the continuation of life, also impacts the lifesyles of societies culturally. Food culture, acting as a mirror for the development of social environment within the community, is inherited from generations systematically through oral and written communication. Emotions are one the most important motivations in transferring information, orally or in written forms, such as various recipes and information related to food culture like culinary culture and table manners. For this reason, it is natural that the relation between food culture and emotions becomes ordinary. Likewise the strong influence of a delicious dish to human nature and behaviours, a similar impact can be seen in the reflection of individual’s innerself to food when cooking or presenting it. The purpose of this study is to examine the interplay between food culture and emotions in Like Water For Chocolate, the book of Laura Esquivel, who is a prominent figure in contemporary Latin American literature, born in Mexico, and present this interplay with examples and reflection and reactions in individual’s innerself from the book.
