As a seasoned gamer who’s seen his fair share of TV shows and movies, I must say that Like Water For Chocolate has truly stirred my senses with its third episode! The steamy “Quail With Rose Petals” has undeniably outdone Bridgerton in the romance department.
Beware! Spoilers for the third episode of “Like Water For Chocolate,” titled “Quail With Rose Petals,” are coming up. You can watch it now if you have a Max subscription.
Swap out “Bridgerton” with “Like Water for Chocolate”, as it’s creating quite the stir in the television world lately. A few weeks following its premiere on the 2024 TV lineup, it delivered its most sensual episode yet on Max through its third installment. After being drawn in by the initial two episodes of this Spanish-language series, the third one took it up a notch with its exploration of magical realism and steamy scenes. The temperature rose so high during “Quail With Rose Petals” that fire even made an appearance. In an interview with TopMob about the latest episode, the leads shared their feelings on how “intimate” the experience was for them.
It’s been established on the show so far that Tita has the ability to convey her feelings through what she cooks and bakes in the kitchen. And, during Episode 3, she stirs up intense feelings of desire at her family’s lunch table when she makes a delectable quail with a rose petal sauce. Andrea Chaparro’s Gertrudis has a particularly strong reaction to the dish when it sends her running naked and into the arms of revolutionary captain Juan Alejandrez. During our interview Chaparro said this about filming the sequence:
In another way of saying it, I must admit I’ve never experienced such a sense of exposed vulnerability. Yet, there was an undeniable strength and determination within me. Running through the woods without any clothes on surprisingly gave me immense power. I was filled with apprehension, yes, but then, the moment I started running, all my fears seemed to vanish. I felt incredibly liberated and deeply connected with myself, for in such moments of exposure, there’s always a hint of anxiety. However, this time it wasn’t due to another person or romantic undertones; instead, it was the exhilarating freedom that a woman can experience when she lets go. And with my sister’s magical concoction, I allowed myself to embrace that freedom. It was an incredibly empowering experience, truth be told.
In the novel, Tita’s passionate feelings towards Pedro, who has married her sister Rosaura, are evident in her new culinary masterpiece. This prompts Gertrudis to seek out and embrace her childhood sweetheart. As you might guess, filming this scene required Chaparro to bare much of his body, leaving little to the imagination of those on set and viewers alike. However, it seems that she found great joy and liberation in portraying the character’s unfettered emotions during this scene.
As a gaming enthusiast immersed in the world of television adaptations, it’s nothing short of thrilling to witness iconic novel moments like these brought to life on screen. Speaking from personal experience, I find myself echoing the sentiments of Tita, the protagonist from ‘Like Water For Chocolate’, when I say: It’s a genuine pleasure to see such scenes beautifully translated for our screens.
Furthermore, just like the rose, it initially appears pristine and untouched, but then Tita unintentionally wounds herself with the thorns, causing the blossom to stain red with her blood. This transformation is truly enchanting. I never would have thought that edible dishes could be crafted from flowers, let alone roses. The very concept of this culinary creation is captivating. Tita, through her cooking, embodies her emotions and transforms them into a dish. This act of creating food is magical, pure, and vulnerable – reflecting the feelings of all the characters involved.
In a comical twist, the main actress from Like Water for Chocolate reminisces about her amusingly awkward text conversation with producer Salma Hayek.
As a devoted fan, I can’t help but reflect on this week’s episode where Gertrudis embraces revolution and its cause, mirroring Mama Elena’s journey into her hidden sensuality. Rosaura and Pedro also take their marriage vows to a new level later in the story. Meanwhile, Tita’s longing for Pedro remains an unquenchable yearning within her heart. I eagerly await next Sunday to see how Tita’s magical culinary skills influence those who partake in her dishes. For now, I’m captivated by the profound insights the cast has offered about filming this week’s emotionally charged episode.
Like Water For Chocolate is certainly shaping up to be one of the best Max TV shows for romance fans, so be sure to stream new episodes when they’re released on Sundays. Also, learn about other upcoming book adaptations that you should keep an eye out for.
