They start to fight and Ginebra gets the upper hand, almost kills the other woman, two other guards have to remove her and they give her a good beating. But before they leave her alone, all bloodied and sour, she manages to threaten to kill them all.

El Amor No Tiene Receta #80: Proposals


We first get a reprise of the confrontation between Ginebra and Felipa.

Humberto told Paz that there was a DNA test result showing that Samara was Vermin's daughter. He revealed that Felipa had been helpful in the investigation. Paz speculated that Ginebra would kill Felipa if she knew. Esteban thanked him for his help. They acknowledged their kinship and that each declared the other a good man. They hugged and Humberto left. Paz and Esteban talked about their children and how they had to explain recent events to them, finally concluding that Gala and Bosco should get the full truth while Sam and Eder needed something edited.

COMING SOON...

Hello, hello everyone!

Our blog's going strong with all the amazing recaps by our spectacular recappers!

(Recappers mentioned in alphabetical order for each telenovela:)

On the Telemundo page, dondi and Steve just finished providing us with fantastic recaps for El Señor de los Cielos 9! Novelera has started incredible recaps for El Conde: Amor y Honor!

On the Primetime page, there's some discussion on Golpe de Suerte, but no recaps yet. Double episodes can't have made the situation better.

Meanwhile, splendid recaps are written by the El Amor no Tiene Receta gang, which includes Adriana, Blue Lass, Urban and Weirdo (me) in standalone pages!

Last but definitely not least, we have Vivir de Amor getting marvellous recaps by Diana on the Daytime page, who has the MONSTROUS task of recapping a novela with 125 episodes alone!

So, what's next? What's coming? What are our brave recappers going to face next? If you're wondering, you've come to the right page.

El Amor no Tiene Receta, Capítulo 79 - Lunes, 24 de junio, 2024 - "When life gives you lemons, turn evil and blame life"

We first get a repeat of the last scene of the previous episode, from the "I killed Berenice" part.

Sam is sad for Gin. Paz doesn't exactly explain why Gin was taken in prison ("she did some bad things"), but then again Sam is 7. We need a psychologist for this poor child. Sam asks her if it could be a mistake like Paz's, but from Paz's face it's an obvio no. They talk about the special connection they have ever since the day they met. When Sam asks her why does she think they connected immediately, Paz says "Because I'm your-" but Esteban enters and unwillingly ruins the opportunity. They talk about Kenzo and Sam asks them what happened. Esteban says that Kenzo had a little accident, but he's getting better, it's nothing. Sam comments that they're both acting weirdly. Btw, can she see her mom? Paz and Esteban exchange some looks.

ANNOUNCEMENT: Receta will only air on Monday and Friday next week. On Tuesday and Wednesday it'll be preempted by Copa de Americas and on Thursday by the presidencial debate.

We get 7 minutes of Mir and Mau talking. Mau says he didn't want to hurt her, Mir says he did, but then says things like "I can see you as much more than a monster" and leaves open some opportunities for them to be an item. Mauro gets suspicious and says he won't fall in the trap, but kisses her anyway. I hope he hasn't ordered his yoga mat yet, because I refuse to recap a yoga scene with these two.

Friday 6/21/24: Karmageddon for the Hell-bound: El Amor No Tiene Receta

It's that time again! Karmageddon arrives to deal itself to the evil ones we have discussed and analyzed to a degree that Freud and Jung would applaud. Evil is escalating every day as all the Deadly Sins (Pride, Greed, Wrath, Envy, Lust, Gluttony, Sloth) are committed. The usual questions apply:

  • What do you think the writers will do to them?

  • What do you think they deserve?

If I have forgotten anything in the following, please advise so I can revise. This should include all data through episode 77.

Ginebra Nicoliti / Altair Jarabo

Full Rap Sheet Not Disclosed

Guilty of at least 12 first-degree murders, mostly outside Mexico. Also guilty of unknown counts of tax evasion, financial fraud, money laundering, arson, child abduction and trafficking, child abuse, torture of an unknown number of adults, blackmail, creating false evidence of a crime (the murder of Berenice), bribery, and an unknown number of attempted murders.

Guilty also of using her sexuality to lure victims.

Before criminal sentence is passed should be sued for mental and physical health damages to her victims and any others affected by knowledge of her crimes.

El Amor no Tiene Receta #77, jueves 6/20: Cries and Whispers

Kenzo is venting histrionically to Esteban. All of this -- his ex, his kid, his not-kid, the money laundering -- is too much. He can't handle it! He feels nauseous! He wants to vomit! He must have missed the panic attack class last week and had to do a make-up lab. Esteban reminds him to breathe and assures him that they'll get through this together. After all, he's doing such a great job of managing his own household, why not take over Kenzo's, too?

Fobo continues to school Elvira in all the ways Gin is suspicious. She resists his arguments, but he points out that as her bodyguard, his first and only job is to guard her body (jeje -- he doesn't actually phrase it that way, but we're all thinking it.) He finally convinces her to "test" Gin by taking her out of the will and seeing how she reacts. Dude, are you nuts??? He better be glued to her side every second from here to the  lawyer's office, because that French Shooter is still out there.

Gin rounds the corner of Casa Roble just as Esteban and Paz are disentangling from one of their shmoopy goodbyes. How did she know to go there? Did she come straight from the railyard? Oh, who cares. I only peek out from under my beanie to take notes.

El amor no tiene receta #76, Notes from the couch

Reunited and it feels like I want to cry 

This is going to be a quick one, busy day ahead. Feel free to fill in the blanks. 

Paz and Sam are still hugging, Sam asks why Paz is laughing and crying at the same time. Paz says she’s happy. Happy to see her beautiful face and her smile, she’s waited so long for this moment and now they are finally together. Esteban is looking at them and he gets teary eyed, too, then goes inside allowing them to be alone. Paz asks Sam if she’d like to prepare with her one of the recipes she’s been keeping for her daughter. Sam agrees, she loves cooking with Paz and loves being back in this house. They go inside together, and they walk in slow motion, which is perfect because it gives me enough time to blow my nose and wipe my eyes – I might have been ugly crying during this scene.

El Amor no Tiene Receta, Capítulo 73 - Viernes, 14 de junio, 2024 - "Everyone's in Malolandia"

Busy days, so here are the highlights:

Humberto, who also is a breaking-in mastermind except from a lawyer, hacker and computer expert and Fel put the plan of breaking into Ginebra's house in action. Two goats, using the Telenovela Teleportation Device are randomly (?) outside the house. Ginebra's guard goes to get them away, but Humb knocks him unconscious. The cameras have been disabled beforehand by him. He and Felipa enter the house, splitting ways to search more effectively. Hum finds a small box, in which he inputs the number 0708 (Ginebra's clue to Esteban) and gets a USB stick out. He shows Fel and they put everything back like it was. I mean... Gin is going to notice the knocked out, tied, gagged guard in the middle of living room, so she is going to search for the stolen anyway. But plan executed successfully. (Slightly OT, but I ate some chocolate yesterday and checked the expiration date and it was 07.08... No joking, I instantly thought of Gin. Geez, she has become a nightmare even to us!)

As we return to Villa Villa, Damp Mauro repeats that they must! save! Eder! Gin tells him not to discuss it in front of Esteban, who is after all only the kid's father and not an official member of the Kid-Poisoning Club. Mir slips away from the doorway on little rubber-capped feet. 

Elvira Empress of Etiquette shows up uninvited at the Robles' to tell them she's never liked any of them but still expects them to take her entirely unsolicited advice: Paz should stay away from Esteban, because mistresses are tacky, and Salo should back off from Gala, because teenage fathers are even tackier. By the time she's done they have her tearing up parsley, which seems to take a bit of edge off (but she still has plenty of edges left.)

Esteban visits Eder, who hasn't twitched. Sam and Monito offer to sleep in his room to watch out for any signs of life, but Esteban says he will do that himself...indefinitely. He probably thinks he'll be safe there from the devil-in-a-negligee, but the rest of us aren't so sure.

El amor no tiene receta, Wednesday, #71, S.O.S. Men in distress

Hello, Patio! I’ve had computer troubles that are not yet solved, so this is going to be a fast one. Feel free to fill in the gaps and sorry about any mistakes, writing this without a working mouse has been quite challenging.

Ginebra gives Esteban an ultimatum: if he wants his son Eder to live, he has to sleep with her. She wants a baby. Esteban is disgusted (and Paz who is eavesdropping is about to lose her breakfast, lunch and dinner). Gin threatens him with harming the others if he doesn’t obey, he is trapped and he might as well accept it and stop resisting. Esteban accuses her of going after Elvira’s money and being obsessed with him. Their marriage is a joke, did her mommy abandoning her cause so much harm that now she is begging for attention? Gin says she’s no victim, she’s a fighter and a winner. And Esteban is going to be her prize.

El Amor No Tiene Receta #70: Discovery, Accusation, Revelation, Shock, Demand

 

Ginebra demanded that Esteban kneel and beg for Eder's life. [She must think she's Elsa, She-Wolf of the SS.] Esteban forced himself to kneel and apologize to Ginebra. She told him that if his apology is not sincere, Eder would remain permanently in limbo. After uttering a monumentally embarrassing plea and what sounded like sincere regret for his deceptions and disobedience she said she liked him recognizing her power over him. However, she finally said he would have to convince her of his sincerity. [Altair Jarabo probably needed bodyguards in public after this aired almost three weeks ago.]

El Amor No Tiene Receta #69: Too Many Words and What Action?

 

Mauro approached Mireya to talk privately. She slapped him and demanded to know why he played with Paz' hopes and emotions about her missing daughter. He said he deserved the slap and more, but that he did not deserve her love. Mireya did not want to go down this road again. He started out saying that Ginebra made him do it. That he had done many thing he regretted and didn't know exactly when he became who or what he was. “A monster!” said Mireya.

IN THE WORKS...

 ALOHA, Caraymates!!

I wish I could tell you I'm in Hawaii, but nopis! Still here at my ranchito tending to my animalitos...no leeway for vacations, weekends, days off, etc., etc., etc...

I've been asked about the "Coming Soon..." pages, so I want to address that here. I don't have much time to do more than an occasional recap, comments, or monitoring of the blog; so I will not be creating/posting summaries of the upcoming telenovelas. BUT I do want to encourage and welcome anyone who would like to take over that duty :-)

El amor no tiene receta, #67, "Introduction to home cryogenics"

Felipa keeps playing the blame game with Nandy: she is separating Kenzo from his beloved kids and hurting him in the process.

Esteban and Humberto pretend talk about Paz still hating Esteban. As soon as the phone gets inside the chips bag, Esteban tells his cousin the truth about him and Paz still being in luuv. Humbie is disappointed for a while but tells Esteban how Gin managed to put a tracker on him: by injecting it in his blood. They need to freeze him in order to remove it. Esteban manages to wrap his head around it, even if Humbie is not very reassuring, because getting his temperature as low as possible might deactivate the tracker, but it might also kill him in the process.

El Amor No Tiene Receta #66: Objective Achieved

 

Esteban joined the demonstration where he met up with Paz and got her to shut off her cell phone. He told her that Ginebra was a killer. He had to talk to her but she hesitated to believe him. Ginebra noticed the loss of connexion and slammed the laptop shut. Esteban told Paz he loved her, which she did not believe. As the women around them shouted for Justice they looked to leave the crowd. Ginebra, swearing that Esteban will pay dearly, called Mauro to order him to so something about this immediately. She then tried calling Esteban but only got his voicemail. She did not leave a message but said to herself “You are mine, Esteban. Mine. I will not let you forget that.”

El Amor no Tiene Receta #65, lunes 6/3: Waffle/Press

Yup, Filipa spent the whole weekend in Humberto's bathroom and pops out full of pep, merry widow and all. Hum, having finally internalized that Paz and Esteban are endgame, decides to stop waffling and see how much (information) he can get out of her. As she keeps saying, they're both adults, right? In the biological sense, anyway.

Beat-up Bosco remarks to beat-up Pepa that the clothes he lent him are weird and super-baggy. Pepa gets a shifty look and says they belonged to...an amigo. (Not sure who he's referring to -- his Dad? Pre-Nandi?  A "special friend"? I guess we'll know when we know.) 

Suddenly the Robles start pouring in and things get wild.

El Amor no Tiene Receta, Capítulo 64 - Viernes, 31 de mayo, 2024 - "More doubts for Max, more despair for Esteban, more misery planned by Gin"

Paz wants a few days off because she found her daughter and mentions sending her mother instead if it's needed. Esteban of course says yes and does the very wrong move of telling Paz he wants them to be friends; she screams there's no "them" and hangs up.

Bosco and Pepa have a discussion of their mutual trauma. Pepa says he thinks they should move past this and continue with their life like they want to. They both admire the tree Pepa has painted.

El Amor no Tiene Receta #63, jueves 5/30: Sex, Lies and Vegetables

Paz snaps, slapping Humberto and shouting about no means no and you can't go around kissing ladies without their permission. He takes it well, apologizing immediately and promising to hereafter hang his hat firmly in the friend zone. The contrast between his gentlemanly sincerity and the memory of Esteban banging Fermin's head on the table like an underperforming bowling ball gives one pause, but everyone knows you can't choose your soulmate -- that's the scriptwriters' job! -- and hell, we're all under a lot of stress.

Before Bosco can act on his decision to proceed against Gio, Castro arrives with a couple of flunkies to arrest him. (How did she beat him to it? Doesn't Ginebra still have her by the cheeks?) It's a good thing the Only Police Station in Mexico City is so close to Esteban's house. Or maybe they moved it there, since that's where all the action is.  

Up on the roof, Gala tells Salo she and Jero are kaputski. He gleefully takes this opportunity to declare his love in the most loving, caring, supportive, patient, non-Jero way possible. She reciprocates. Kiss-kiss, cue the bubble-gum song.

El amor no tiene receta, #62, "The blood is not calling. I repeat, the blood is not calling!"

Bosco goes to find Pepa and confesses to him what happened with Gio and that she says that he was the attacker. He doesn’t want anyone else to know, because who will believe that a man was abused? Everyone will make fun of him! Pepa confesses something similar almost happened to him while in jail. They bond over their mutual trauma, shake on it and call themselves amigos.

Gio arrives home, Jeronimo has been waiting for her, they’ve been in cahoots all this time. He’s upset because he couldn’t sleep with Gala, but he wants her to suffer long and hard because of her health problems. Together they start to prepare for setting up Bosco, Jeronimo starts strangling Gio hard enough to leave evident marks on her neck. She makes it clear that she despises Gala and doesn’t want to be in her shadow anymore.

El Amor no Tiene Receta, Capítulo 60 - Lunes, 27 de mayo, 2024 - "Here comes the bride... and the fake María... and the police."

This episode could have an alternative title of "What where they expecting?"

We begin with Gin telling Esteban to call Paz and read this card she wrote to her.

Pepa has finished making the website (Wordpress, I assume?). Humb talks to Paz about placing the "se busca" signs in key parts of the town when...

Esteban calls Paz to read her the card Gin has written for him. Paz's fam urges her not to pick up, but she does. Esteban tells her her daughter María appeared!! Paz of course decides to go to the wedding. What's really weird about the whole María business is that there's literally no way to know which child she is, since she was stolen hours after her birth, so all these "se busca" cards with pictures... What's up with that? For all they know María could be a completely different kid. But I digress again...

Paz overhears Gin telling Esteban about getting married in three weeks, starts crying and drops the tray she's carrying. She runs away. Gin and Esteban hear the noise. Gin smiles because she understood it was Paz. Esteban says he wholeheartedly hates Gin.

Brains like his, he should be sent to space. Vermin distracts Nandy and Kenzo and gets them downstairs to drink some tea.

El amor no tiene receta, #58, "Under duress"

Ginebra plays pretend about not knowing why Esteban wanted to gather the entire family. She doesn’t miss the opportunity to summon Paz with some food, asking her to serve everyone. Esteban, dead in the eyes, says he will start speaking as soon as Paz leaves and asks her to check on dinner.

Then he starts telling his family that life sometimes surprises you… he pulls out the ring, barely stops his gag reflex and asks Ginebra to marry him. Paz is not looking at them, but she hears everything and is shaken to the core.

El Amor No Tiene Receta #57: Venom and Bulls**t

 My apologies for the lateness, but I lost my internet connexion for almost two hours today.

Paz cornered Vermin and demanded to know if he had sold their baby. Once again he denied having done so, saying he'd prefer death to causing this kind of pain [I guess the writers have decided his fate]. She didn't accept his dodging her next questions and finally said what for all he said he'd help find their daughter she always ended up searching alone. She shoved him and got back to work. He looked afraid [as he should be].

El amor no tiene receta, #56, "One bomb drops, another one is starting to tick"

The Robles are in a good mood, making plans about the restaurant. Paz is really cheerful, especially when some people from the barrio come to offer them help in the form of a loan.

Elvira is surprised both her daughters fell for the same man. Must be in the genes, careful, El!

But Gin didn’t know Bere was her half-sister, how could she know? Elvira has a hard time dealing with this, Gin says Esteban has been such a great help and she can love his kids as if she had a heart they were her own. But she needs her motherly help. El wants to help, but not with him, what will the kids say? Gin insists she deserves to be loved after the pain of losing her husband. She asks Elvira to help her connect with the kids, also. What if another woman gets close, someone like Paz? God forbid, this is Elvira’s no go zone. So, she kind of agrees… I think.

El Amor no Tiene Receta, Capítulo 55 - Viernes, 17 de mayo, 2024 - Highlights

I had bad audio. Bare with me because it'll probably continue next week.

Paz goes to see the kids. Mauro gets pissed off, but Sam insists and Mauro lets them (Paz, Sam and Monito) in the garden while he's ten steps away in the door, but he doesn't mention the last bit. I wonder why. Sam tells Paz not to tell Mauro, but mom hit her again. But Paz, for whatever reason, after the kids gets inside, confronts Mauro about it. Girl!

El Amor No Tiene Receta #54: Recrimination and Revelation (Main Points From Memory)


The following may be out of order; please add anything missing:

When Kenzo and Nandy came back to the Robles house Jerónimo and Sandro continued making transphobic comments to Nandy because they rejected that their father has fallen in love with her. 

Fobo gave Elvita a music box [WTF did he do this at the office?].

El amor no tiene receta, #53, Notes from the couch®️

This is going to be a quick one, as I have a lot going on and I'm writing half from memory, half from some notes I took while watching. Feel free to add things I might have missed.

®️Thank you, Jarifa, for making up this perfect title while we were doing double (and sometimes triple) duty while recapping La Herencia. Oh, good times!....Remember Pedro Montero, you guys? Maybe he and Ginebra should start dating, I'm sure she'd find him quite fetching.😉

Paz and Esteban are both in tears as Paz reports back to work. They talk about Gala’s food needs. The kids come back the stairs and are happy to see Paz, Elvira … not so much. She eventually agrees with Paz getting back to her old job, after the kids insist. Gala especially needs her help.

El Amor No Tiene Receta #52: House of Cards

 

While still outside Paz called Samara. Monito told her while handing her the phone. Mauro watched and listened. Paz told Samara she got out of jail and Samara told her she wanted to visit her neighborhood. She told her that Cobija had been sick with a stomach problem. [Will someone wonder how Cobija got sick? They all know that Ginebra is a monster.] Paz reminded her that they needed to be patient and soon they will be together looking at the moon. She gave the phone back to Humberto who was impressed.

El Amor No Tiene Receta #51: Say It With Flowers.. or Venom


Salomón went to the office to see Gala while Porfirio went to see Lupita. Salomón wanted to get Gala back but she was not up for it. Porfirio found Lupita selling jars of freshly ground coffee with it and wisdom on the label. He looked at one whose label said “Never be afraid of what is about to happen.” He was looking for her and said he's like to have coffee with her.

Fobo visited Elvira in her office looking appropriately dashing in his black shirt and neat-invisible black sling. He was there for one more try at playing Rudolfo to her Contessa*. She was a little ill at ease at this happening in her office and she felt like a teen so she hesitated.... but finally agreed after hearing him out. [The jury needs to be polled about whether we want to see this consummated.]
