Like Water for Chocolate (1992)

In a Mexican border town in 1910, neighbours Pedro and Tita wish to marry, but Tita's mother Elena refuses to give her consent, since she wants her youngest daughter to stay living with her as a full-time carer. So Pedro marries Tita's sister Rosario instead and Tita pours her innermost feelings into her cooking, triggering similar responses in anyone who samples it, whether lovelorn grief or overwhelming passion.
