Like Water For Chocolate is a short novel, "A story of love interred." It is divided into twelve chapters, each designated by a month of the calendar, and incorporating a recipe.
When the water comes to a boil for the first time, remove it from the beat, and dissolve the chocolate completely; beat with a chocolate mill until it is smoothly blended with the water.
Hot chocolate can also be made using milk instead of water, but in this case, it should only be brought to a boil once, and the second time it's heated it should be beaten so it doesn't get too thick.

Like Water for Chocolate is full of such contradictions: while often exciting, Common also maddens with his casual homophobia and sneers at those he sees as lesser artists.
