LAURA ESQUIVEL
Mexican novelist and screenwriter (1951 - )

PREPARATION:
Take care to chop the onion fine. To keep from crying when you
chop it (which is so annoying!), I suggest you place a little bit
on your head. The trouble with crying over an onion is that once
the chopping gets you started and the tears begin to well up, the
next thing you know you just can't stop. I don't know whether
that's ever happened to you, but I have to confess it's happened
to me, many times. Mama used to say it was because I was
especially sensitive to onions, like my great-aunt, Tita.
