Dalí. Les Dîners De Gala

Description: Dalí. Les Dîners De Gala Product Overview “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.”—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. The opulent dinner parties thrown by Salvador Dalí (1904–1989) and his wife and muse, Gala (1894–1982) 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 abridged reissue features 78 of his recipes over 12 chapters, specially illustrated by Dalí, and organized by meal courses, including aphrodisiacs. The illustrations and recipes are accompanied by Dalí’s extravagant musings on subjects such as dinner conversation: “The jaw is our best tool to grasp philosophical knowledge.”All these rich recipes can be cooked at home, although some will require practiced skill and a well-stocked pantry. This is cuisine of the old school, with meals by leading French chefs. Good taste, however voluptuous, never goes out of fashion. 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.The first English edition of Les Diners de Gala was published in 1973 by FELICIE, INC., New York Read more Details Publisher ‏ : ‎ Taschen America Llc (April 2, 2024) Language ‏ : ‎ French Hardcover ‏ : ‎ 192 pages ISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ 3836595877 ISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 72 Item Weight ‏ : ‎ 15.6 ounces Dimensions ‏ : ‎ 5.51 x 0.63 x 7.68 inches Best Sellers Rank: #3,758,882 in Books (See Top 100 in Books) #1,763 in Celebrity Photography #3,309 in Individual Artists' Books #4,178 in Portrait Photography #1,763 in Celebrity Photography #3,309 in Individual Artists' Books We have been selling used books since 2012, and we've learned that the most important thing is doing good business.
