Throughout history, many writers have written books that are set in the world of food and enhanced with numerous recipes. Thomas Fox Averill wrote the Secrets of the Tsil Café, in which he uses food to connect one character to another. Weston’s life experiences are relevant through the end of the novel, and became important in Weston’s development. Therefore, the maturity in Wes Hingler was the result of experiences within his family. Weston’s early sexual maturity was caused by the sexual exposure he had as child. Weston’s sexual maturity began at the age of 12, when he first witness Pablito and Cocoa, two employees of the Tsil Café, having sex passionately. In this sexual act, Weston became “mesmerized: by Cocoa’s creamy brown breast, and by the way Pablito gently touched them” (Averill 90). As a result of this experience, Weston lost his innocence as a child and began having the desire to act like Pablito. In addition, Wes and his father witness Maria Tito Hingler having sex with Pablito. Furthermore, not only does he witness his mother having sex with Pablito, but becomes aware that his father, Robert Hingler, is having sex with Cocoa. During Weston’s development from adolescent to adulthood he had the notion that Pablito and his parent’s sexual behavior was normal in life.
