DESCRIPTION:
This book is so great. Its like Hieronymous Bosch and Dali sat down This book is so great. Its like Hieronymous Bosch and Dali sat down together and made some crazy art and some crazy recipies. Tons of wonderful art in this book, interspersed with bizarre recipies. I'm not sure they're odd due to Dali, or odd due to being 70s french, but this book is a lot of fun to read. It's huge too. I doubt ill ever make a recipie from the book, unless im having some surrealist party, but im certain ill read this book over and over again just for fun. And at $35? Who are you kidding, if you made it here just get it! You wont regret it.. "Food meets Surrealism" according to Walter Otto Koenig.

Anyone could tell that by listening to him. Wouldn't have made all the amazing art he wasn't that way. This book is very interesting and as imaginative as it gets. Don't expect to learn much about cooking. It's a bunch of erotic stories tied to food. I bought a couple of these books as gifts to family. They really liked them. I didn't know what to expect of this book when I bought them. I bought them for the art. Very interesting. Probably only for people who think outside the box. Don't hesitate to

Gala dinner: Salvador Dalí’s surrealist cookbook“Les dîners 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.”—Salvador DalíFood and surrealism make perfect bedfellows: Sex and lobsters, collage and cannibalism, the meeting of a swan and a toothbrush on a pastry case. Good taste, however voluptuous, never goes out of fashion. The opulent dinner parties thrown by Salvador Dalí (1904–1989) and his wife and muse, Gala (1894–1982) were the stuff of legend. In making this exceptionally rare book available to a wide audience, TASCHEN brings an artwork, a practical cookbook, and a multisensory adventure to today’s kitchens.. 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 features all 136 recipes over 12 chapters, specially illustrated by Dalí, and organized by meal co
