Lili Loofbourow Washington Post There is no compulsion to reinvent, no needless experimental energy. The series feels instead like a lush and leisurely expansion. But the beats — and the dishes — remains the same. Nov 7, 2024 Full Review Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter The grammar of food porn has dramatically evolved in the past decade, and the influence of the Chef’s Table brand of presentation is evident throughout, right down to careful onscreen identification of pivotal dishes in their completed form. Nov 6, 2024 Full Review Aramide Tinubu Variety This narrative is a heady and intoxicating affair. Therefore, Tita and Pedro had to be perfectly cast for the series to soar, and thankfully, Guaita and Baida are up for the task. Nov 4, 2024 Full Review Jorge Rivera Rubio QiiBO The first two episodes left me hungry for more, not necessarily because I wanted to see what happens next, but because the dish lacked substance, mostly the sensually mischievous spirit that Esquivel infused in her novel.

This new adaptation offers a more complex and rich vision of one of the most beloved and representative love stories of Mexican literature, inviting a deeper reflection on its themes. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 7/10 Nov 10, 2024 Full Review Aglaia Berlutti Hipertextual The second adaptation of Laura Esquivel's play is a heartwarming blend of romance and tragedy, exploring the magical world of the original on a whole new level.
