A lavishly illustrated cookbook filled with Dali's surrealist recipes

The opulent dinner parties thrown by surrealist painter Salvador Dalí and his wife and muse, Gala, were the stuff of legend. Luckily for us, Dalí published a cookbook in 1973, Les Diners de Gala, which reveals some of the sensual, imaginative, and exotic elements that made up their notorious gatherings.

This reprint of Dali's famous cookbook features all 136 recipes over 12 chapters, specially illustrated by Dalí. The illustrations and recipes are accompanied by Dalí’s extravagant musings on subjects such as dinner conversation: 

We leave the last word to Dali:

'Les diners de Gala is uniquely devoted to the pleasures of taste … If you are a disciple of one of those calorie-counters who turn the joys of eating into a form of punishment, close this book at once; it is too lively, too aggressive, and far too impertinent for you'
