The Secret Book of Frida Kahlo (El libro secreto de Frida Kahlo)
A story full of colors and flavors. Frida is Mexico itself. After "dying" for the first time in a terrible car accident, Frida Kahlo reaches an agreement with her godmother, Death. In exchange for Frida preparing an offering in the form of a banquet for her every year on the Day of the Dead, Death allows her to live. Frida wrote down the recipes for each banquet dedicated to Saint Death in a black notebook she called “The Book of Holy Herbs”.

In an intimate and […]
